Performance and annual returns

Methodology

The STOXX Regional Industry Neutral ESG indices are selected from the STOXX Global 1800 universe. STOXX will exclude the 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 indices are created by selecting companies with an Environmental (E), Social (S) and Governance (G) score >= 50. 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.

Additionally, for the European version there are 2 further indices selecting the 200 and 250 companies with the highest Total Rating Score. For the North American version there are also 2 further indices, selecting the 150 and 200 companies with the highest Total Rating Score. The Total Rating Score is provided by Sustainalytics.
