Index Description

These STOXX Low Carbon indices cover benchmark indices and the blue-chip index EURO STOXX 50®. By utilizing both estimated and reported carbon intensity scores, this index family represents broad indices with a variable number of components, covering the regions Global, Europe, Eurozone, USA and Japan. These indices closely track the risk-return profile of the underlying benchmark indices while offering a reduction in carbon emissions in the overall portfolio of constituents by overweighting lower carbon emitters, while underweighting higher carbon emitters. The indices 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. STOXX uses ISS ESG as reliable and professional data sources for the estimated and reported data. Data considered comprise Scope 1 (All direct GHG emissions) and Scope 2 (Indirect GHG emissions from consumption of purchased electricity, heat or steam) emissions.

Methodology

Base universe is the STOXX Global 1800 Index, excluding companies that are non-compliant based on the ISS ESG Norms Based Screening assessment or are involved in Controversial Weapons are not eligible for selection. Additional exclusion filters are applied, screening companies for involvement in Tobacco, Thermal Coal, Unconventional Oil & Gas, Civilian Firearms, and Military Contracting. Only those stocks with reported or estimated low carbon emission data are eligible for inclusion. STOXX uses estimated and reported Carbon Intensity data ((Scope 1 + Scope 2 emission data) / Revenue in $ million) provided by ISS ESG. The remaining stocks are sorted by ICB Supersector and a Z-score per supersector is calculated. For the EURO STOXX 50 Low Carbon index, a Z-Score is calculated for the population. Indices are price weighted with a weight factor based on the free-float market capitalization multiplied by the corresponding Z-score carbon intensity factor of each constituent. The resulting tilt overweights stocks with lower carbon intensities and underweights those with higher emissions. Individual components are subject to a 5% cap.
