Index Description

The STOXX Global ESG Select KPIs Indices offer a broad market exposure that tracks the performance of companies with superior environmental, social, and governance (ESG) KPIs. Companies are selected and weighted by five essential KPIs. The index includes ESG exclusion screens for Global Standards Screening, Controversial Weapons, Thermal Coal, Tobacco, Military Contracting, Small Arms, Oil Sands and ESG Controversies. KPI standardization by ICB industry and country-capping reduce unwanted systematic active exposures.

Key facts

  • Component selection and weighting based on the following KPIs: CDP emission/energy reduction target, percentage of women on the board, percentage of independent directors, strict policies against child labor, and against golden parachute agreement.
  • Companies that are involved in Coal Mining, Controversial Weapons, Product Involvement in Unconventional Oil & Gas, Thermal Coal, Small Arms, Military Contracting, Tobacco, Private Prisons, have a Controversy Rating, and those who are identified as non-compliant based on Sustainalytics Global Standards Screening assessment are excluded.
  • Tilt and capping methodology fixes the levels of active industry, country, and component exposures which in turn ensures low-tracking error compared to the respective benchmarks.
  • US and Global versions are available.

Performance and annual returns

Methodology

In a first step, all companies that do not comply based on Sustainalytics Global Standards Screening assessment, are involved in Controversial Weapons, Unconventional Oil & Gas, Thermal Coal, Tobacco, Weapons, Private Prisons and Controversy Ratings, or are coal miners (ICB Subsector 60101040) are excluded from the universe (US companies in the STOXX Global 1800 Index).

Secondly, for all remaining companies, 5 KPIs are determined and standardized by industry (CDP emission/energy reduction target, percentage of women on the board, percentage of independent directors, policy against child labor, golden parachute agreement). The standardized KPIs are aggregated using a linear combination with coefficients as in the table below.

Thirdly, the companies are then ranked by their aggregated ESG score and the top half will build the composition list. The companies on the composition list are grouped into quintiles by their respective aggregated ESG score and are assigned cap factors ranging from 1.5 (higher score) to 0.5 (lower score) in 0.25 increments.
