Index Description

The STOXX Benchmark ESG-X Indices are based on a selection of STOXX Benchmark Indices and apply standardized ESG exclusion screens. The screens are based on the responsible policies of leading asset owners and aim to reduce reputational and idiosyncratic risks. STOXX excludes companies that Sustainalytics considers to be non-compliant based on Sustainalytics Global Standards Screening assessment, that are involved in controversial weapons, are tobacco producers, or that either derive revenues from thermal coal extraction or exploration, or have power generation capacity that utilizes thermal coal. STOXX Benchmark ESG-X Indices are suitable as underlying indices for mandates, passive funds, ETFs, structured products and listed derivatives, with the ambition to increase liquidity and lower the cost of trading.

Methodology

The STOXX Benchmark ESG-X Indices are based on a selection of STOXX Benchmark Indices and apply standardized ESG exclusion screens.


STOXX excludes companies that Sustainalytics considers to be non-compliant based on Sustainalytics Global Standards Screening assessment, that are involved in controversial weapons (anti-personnel mines, biological and chemical weapons, cluster weapons, depleted uranium, nuclear weapons and white phosphorus weapons), are tobacco producers, or that either derive revenues from thermal coal extraction or exploration, or have power generation capacity that utilizes thermal coal.


The indices are reviewed quarterly and components are weighted by free-float market cap, with a maximum capped weight of 10% for the EURO STOXX 50 ESG-X Index, and 20% for the remaining Benchmark ESG-X Indices. Deleted companies are not replaced.


The indices are subject to the fast-exit rule: in case an index constituent's ESG Controversy Rating increases to Category 5, the respective constituent will be deleted from the index two dissemination days after the announcement, i.e. at the open of the third dissemination day.
