Funds like VFTAX and ESGV aren't inherently "good" because they are dominated by US Tech and Big Pharma Holdings? Do "good" ESG Funds exist?

I'm exploring vanguards offerings to re-balance to reduce risk, while also investing in things that are objectively good for the world for the first time. I'm still learning and not someone who picks individual stocks. I like index funds/ETFs for the ease of management. I have literally 100% of my portfolio in VTSAX at the moment. I road that high for a while but its clear I can't trust the US markets or really feel good about where I'm putting my money. I'm looking at VSGX's and feel a bit better about its holdings but its still heavily supporting AI development. Does anyone have recommendations for a newbie with my goals? Respectful & productive discussion is welcomed. Even just advice on risk reduction would be nice.
