STOXX Global ESG Leaders Indices
The STOXX Global ESG Leaders indices are a group of sustainability indices that are based on a fully transparent
and rule-based selection process. Sustainalytics, a leading global provider of ESG research and analysis,
provides key performance indicators (KPIs) to construct a relative rating using a fully transparent weighting model.
The ratings are calculated for three sub-areas: environmental (E), social (S) and governance (G). They relate to all
companies in the base universe STOXX Global 1800. These three sub-indices are summed-up to form the overall index,
the STOXX Global ESG Leaders index. This roll-up feature enables investors to adjust the definition of sustainability
across the three criteria by allocating their investment across the sub-indices accordingly. All ratings data are
published within the STOXX ESG Leaders selection list.
In addition, the rating model is based on KPI for 3.0 standard by DVFA, the Society of Investment Professionals
in Germany, and EFFAS, the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies.
Customized indices using modified ratings algorithms, selection processes or alternative geographies may be
constructed by STOXX upon client demand.
