Why is this a thing? Sounds like something that limits the investor in his investment choices.

Carbon markets are booming, for one, and there aren't enough effective projects to accept the money.
Thinking about it the other way: By not investing is such non-sustainable companies, only the people who don't care will do. And they will actually get the companies are a discount.
But the companies who actually do good stuff need money and I'd rather give it to them than the others. I also think that investing in these companies will rather change you than you will change them.
Or you just get entangled in the political battles already happening in that company, which will take more effort and time to untangle to enable you to actually steer the ship into some kind of sustainable business.
So not only you'll be fighting the lack of a sustainability mindset/processes but all the entrenched political powers that made this mindset be realised. Throwing good money at bad stuff is not really a good prospect for investing, better to invest in places that aren't dirty from the get-go.
