"Disavows" in the linked article is intentional hyperbole - and recycling repackaging hyperbole out of context like has been done in b_b's link title is misleading. None-the-less, ol' double-boomer boy is right - Fink is only ashamed of -what- the politicization around his ESG has been, NOT that he intended it to be used politically all along:

"I'm ashamed of being part of this conversation," "When I write these [investment] letters, it was never meant to be a political statement. " "… They were written to identify longterm issues to our longterm investors," "I never said I was ashamed," he said, incorrectly. "I'm not ashamed. I do believe in conscientious capitalism."
