'1. Real job of most board members in modern companies is to be a contact Network between Regulators, Politicians and other Business Leaders. The reason that board directors tend to be so old is because these rules are often just given to people who have already had long and prestigious careers in business or government and have built up a long list of friends in high places

'2. Military supply companies including Boeing from earlier normally have one or two retired high-ranking military personnel on their board to signal that they listen directly to the armed forces.

'3. The board is supposed to represent the best interest of shareholders but it's becoming harder and harder to determine what that actually means. The largest shareholders in most public companies are almost always "Vanguard Group", "Blackrock", "State Street Corporation". Large asset managers that build index funds on behalf of other investors or institutions.

'3. EGS Engine is fed company data from major rating agencies and financial services providers like MSCI, ISS, Sustainalytics. It's marketed as world leading system but internally most senior portfolio managers disregarded the EGS system/policy, because it was extremely unreliable.

'4. DWS introduces another tool in 2020, worldclass sophisticated smart integration framework, uses AI, above industry standards, the system issued annual ESG research reports on each of their invested companies and rates them.

'5. In annual report says ESG assets under management went up to $550 billion, +2% growth from previous year, that's the total worth of assets managed using the ESG integration approach according to the report. That ESG criteria/rate were considered for $550 billion of investments, more than half of DWS's total managed assets for 2020. But majority of portfolio managers are disregarding ESG system. They don't have tracking system, at best they could track manually at $150 billion of assets under management are aligned with ESG. Where did the numbers get from?
