Making all companies 2% more ethical would be a great way to spend a measly billion dollars. Not the literal optimum, but a way higher return in utilons than usual. Alas, you can’t actually do that by trying to induce a predictable distortion in asset prices.
Depends on what exactly “companies 2% more ethical” means in real life (in near mode). It could mean saving human lives, maybe even more than if you used the 1 billion dollars to build a hospital (which obviously would be considered very altruistic).
Imagine less poison in food, less slave labor, etc.
Among best ways to spend 1 billion dollars, making companies 2% more ethical does not jump out at me.
