According to Morningstar one of the best ESG funds is JOHCM UK Opportunities. Over the 5 years to 27th September 2018 it produced 84.3%. That's a compound annual return of about 7%. Pity it is just restricted to the UK.
Some random comparisons:
Over the same period the Fundsmith Fund made 155% (about 20% annual compound)
Several Investment Trusts did even better. LIndsell Train for example 270.7% over the period.
Just for balance let's take a couple of specifically non ESG shares: Raytheon - 161.6% and Northrop Grumman 91.4% over the period.
I may be odd or old fashioned but I always thought the purpose of investing was to make money. If you want to good you gave some of your profit to charity.
