— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 18, 2022 While furnishing details regarding Tesla's removal from ESG Index, Margaret Dorn, head of ESG indices for North America, said that the other contributing factors to the changes, effective May 2, included Tesla's lack of published details on its low-carbon strategy or business conduct codes. She said that even though Tesla is contributing to reducing emissions with its electric cars, its issues and lack of disclosures relative to industry peers should raise concerns for investors looking to judge the company across environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria. "You can't just take a company's mission statement at face value, you have to look at their practices across all those key dimensions," Dorn added.
