Are you sure? There is 58 other definitions for that three letter acronym, just like there are for most others.

Environmentally Sustainable Growth
Essential Surfing Gear
Electroslag Welding
are probably also things not very well understood by most Brits.
Electroslag Welding
them slags
It was actually defined in the last sentence of the article
"Some Β£448m was pulled by retail investors from environment, social and governance (ESG) funds in August"
But I scrolled the article 3 times before I spotted it, so your point stands.
I'm thinking that this is some sort of joke article at City AM, because it's always convention to define an acronym at first use, and they didn't just omit it -- like, it probably wasn't just an editorial error -- but put it in at the very end of the article.
Thank you!
And I have no idea what that means after reading it

Yeah, that's understandable because I have to explain it every single time (already explained it to my mother about 4 times now). Whereas believing in aliens is actually quite reasonable (just not that they are here and spend their time making crop circles and probing trailer trash).
I wish more people made that distinction. Believing that there is a whole universe and Earth is the only planet to develop life is quite unreasonable without strong evidence for it but so is the idea that aliens would cross the interstellar distances just to make crop circles or probe random farmers.
are you kidding. human farmers are known for their ass cracks. Always showing them off while working on tractors or doing plumbing. Well except for those prudish overalls types. I mean how are the aliens going to resist that.
