What a claim record is How to read this page

One statement, bounded on purpose

The headline is a single claim that a named source supports. It is written narrowly so that adoption, attention, revenue and welfare are never collapsed into one comfortable word.

The three sections below the fold

What this does not establish is the boundary of the evidence. Counterevidence & uncertainty is what argues the other way. What would change the reading is the observation that would move it. A record missing any of the three is incomplete, not merely brief.

Primary routes are checkable

Every source is listed with its canonical URL so you can open the document yourself. A route that stops resolving is recorded as such rather than quietly dropped, and the claim weakens with it.

MWITA-SBCO-2026-001 · Evidence A · P1

Brief ESG summaries increased purchase intention, but actual purchase effects were small, short-lived and limited to positive social signals and voluntarily viewed full reports.

What this does not establish

Do not infer that corporate ESG reports generally change sales, that intention equals purchase, or that effects transfer beyond US everyday goods.

Counterevidence & uncertainty

Stated preference and information acquisition did not translate broadly into durable purchases; viewing the report was endogenous and its large association is not causal.

What would change the reading

Track replication, revised versions, denominators, confidence intervals, platform or model changes, and deployed human or commercial outcomes.
