BENCHMARK INDICES

STOXX Global 1800 Climate Transition Benchmark

Index Description

The STOXX Climate Transition Benchmark Indices are based on liquid securities from a selection of STOXX Benchmark Indices. They follow EU Climate Transition Benchmark (EU CTB) requirements outlined by the European Commission on climate benchmarks. Companies identified as non-compliant based on Sustainalytics Global Standards Screening (GSS) assessment or are involved in Controversial Weapons are not eligible for selection. Tobacco Producers, as identified by ISS ESG, are also not eligible. Furthermore, STOXX will exclude companies that ISS ESG assesses to have Significant Obstruction in the UN SDGs 12,13,14 and 15. The weighing process follows an optimization process with the aim to reduce their greenhouse gas intensity by at least 30% when compared to their underlying benchmarks. They are also designed to meet the year on year 7% decarbonization target.
