This paper investigates the role of aggregate disagreement in the relationship between environmental, social, and governance () scores and future stock returns in the United States (US), European Union (EU), and United Kingdom (UK). We find that firms with high scores are likely to have higher exposure to aggregate disagreement than firms with low scores because of the divergence of opinions about long-term earnings growth. Consistent with our conjecture, the results suggest that when aggregate disagreement is high, a profitable trading strategy is to long firms with low scores and to short those with higher scores. Our results have clear implications for the growing debate over investment strategies.
