STOXX Low Carbon Footprint Indices: The STOXX Low Carbon Footprint Indices are for investors who want to entirely exclude carbon exposure from their portfolios or divest from them. These indices focus on those companies that have the lowest emissions, by excluding the top seven high carbon emission supersectors (Chemicals, Utilities, Oil & Gas, Construction & Materials, Travel & Leisure, Food & Beverage and Basic Resources). Additionally, from the remaining universe the top 10% of companies in terms of highest emissions are excluded. The indices have a variable number of components., and are price weighted with a weight factor based on the free-float market cap multiplied by the corresponding Z-score carbon intensity factor of each constituent. The indices also exlcude companies violating international norms, are involved with controversial weapons, tobacco, thermal coal, civilian firearms, military equipment, and unconventional oil and gas.
