Methodology

The universe consists of all stocks in the STOXX Global 1800 Index. Companies that do not comply based on Sustainalytics Global Standards Screening assessment, ESG Controversies, ESG Risk Ratings, or are involved in Controversial Weapons, Tobacco, Thermal Coal, Unconventional Oil & Gas, Military Contracting, or Small Arms are excluded. Companies passing the initial selection criteria are ranked by STOXX according to a transparent evaluation system provided by Sustainalytics. The system ranges from 0 to 100 points and is applied for each category: environmental, social and governance. To be included in one of the specialized indices, e.g. the STOXX Global ESG Social Leaders Index, companies must score in the top quartile (25th percentile) in that category and get an above average score (50th percentile) in the other two (governance, environmental). Index components are weighted according to their ESG scores.
The detailed methodology including exclusion criteria and the calculation formula can be found in the ESG rulebook: www.stoxx.com/indices/rulebooks.html
