Methodology

The iSTOXX Europe Responsibility Low Vol 30 Index is based on the STOXX Europe 600 Index.

STOXX will exclude companies that fall above the 20th percentile in terms of ESG scores and companies considered to be non-compliant with Global Standards Screening, and companies involved in Controversial Weapons. Furthermore, companies involved in Animal Testing, Weapons, Gambling, Adult Entertainment, Thermal Coal, Nuclear Power, Tobacco, Conventional Oil & Gas, Unconventional Oil & Gas, Genetically Modified Plants and Seeds, are also excluded.

From the remaining companies, those involved in incidents and events that may pose a business or reputation risk due to the potential impact on stakeholders or the environment, are excluded.
