The STOXX® USA ESG Select KPIs Indices offer a broad market exposure that is tilted towards companies that score better with respect to a small set of environmental, social, and governance KPIs.

The index includes ESG exclusion screens for Global Standards Screening, Controversial Weapons, Small Arms, Military Contracting, Unconventional Oil & Gas, Thermal Coal, Tobacco, Private Prisons and ESG Controversies. KPI standardization by industry and country capping reduce unwanted systematic active exposures.
