ESG vs GoodWay
Not rivals. Different questions.
ESG was designed to answer questions about environmental and social impact. It was not designed, and cannot be expected, to cover the dignity of human life as Christian Social Teaching understands it.
| Dimension | Conventional ESG | GoodWay™ |
|---|---|---|
| Core question | Environmental/social impact? | Coherent with dignity & common good? |
| Philosophical base | Corporate governance and sustainability frameworks | CST + Aristotle + Gospel (2,000+ yrs) |
| Life dignity criterion | ✕ Not in scope | ✓ Central, non-negotiable |
| Abortion / embryo research | ✕ Outside scope | ✓ Assessed independently |
| Ethical alternatives offered | ✕ No | ✓ ETS Similarity Score™ |
| Return validation | ✕ No | ✓ 5-year historical data |
| Ethics Committee | ✕ None | ✓ Independent (6 professors) |
| Integrated system | ✕ Rating only | ✓ Rating + diagnosis + alternative |
