Methodology

Components are selected from the STOXX Europe 600 Index according to their sustainability rating (combination of company and sector rating) while excluding companies which generate revenues from alcohol, gambling, tobacco, armaments and firearms. All companies with a positive sustainability rating are included in the index.

A rating is defined as positive if the combination of the company and the sector rating results in a shaded matrix field in the Sarasin Sustainability Matrix.


In deviation from Bank J. Safra Sarasin�s standard approach, STOXX is including tobacco, adult entertainment and defense & armament in the universe for STOXX Europe Sustainability and EURO STOXX Sustainability. These criteria are considered for exclusion in the indices STOXX Europe/ EURO STOXX Sustainability ex AGTAF/ ex AGTAFA respectively.
