Index Description

The iSTOXX Europe ESG Select 30 Index uses all the European stocks from the STOXX Global ESG Leaders Index as an underlying. The index consists of three subindices which roll into the STOXX Global ESG Leaders index. The three subindices are: STOXX® Global ESG Environment Leaders, STOXX® Global ESG Social Leaders and STOXX® Global ESG Governance Leaders Indices. The STOXX Global ESG Leaders index provides access to the leading global companies in terms of environmental, social and governance criteria, using a bottom-up selection approach based on ESG Risk Ratings provided by Sustainalytics.

Additional exclusion filters are applied, screening companies for involvement in tobacco production and distribution, thermal coal extraction and power generation, small arms manufacturing, military contracting, unconventional oil and gas exploration and production, and ESG Controversies. Using this ESG index as an underlying, European stocks with the lowest volatility and the highest dividends are selected.
