Methodology

The iSTOXX Global Industry Neutral ESG 600 Index is based on the STOXX Global 1800 universe. STOXX excludes companies that Sustainalytics considers to be non-compliant with the Sustainalytics Global Standards Screening assessment, as well as companies identified to be involved with controversial weapons.


The index is created by selecting companies with an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) score >= 50, picking the 600 companies with the highest Total Rating Score, as provided by Sustainalytics. A capping algorithm is applied to calculate component weights so that the ICB Industry weight of the index is similar to the ICB Industry weight of the benchmark, i.e. the STOXX Global 1800 Index.
