Index Solutions
Indices may represent the easiest and most efficient vehicle to implement climate strategies, whilst bringing additional cost and disclosure benefits. Index inputs including forward-looking carbon metrics, varying climate scenarios, biodiversity impact and net zero alignment are fundamental to build modern, low-carbon portfolios.
Climate and Biodiversity Indices
Our range of climate indices helps reduce exposure to climate-related financial risks and increase allocations to companies offering opportunities in the transition to a low-carbon economy. Our biodiversity indices provide a comprehensive framework to address our world’s nature-related challenge.
Climate Indices
Our climate indices are designed to facilitate the shift towards a low-carbon economy and align investments with the Paris Agreement, EU Climate Benchmarks regulation, and other decarbonization objectives.
Biodiversity Indices
Our biodiversity indices provide a framework to help address nature-related challenges. Stock selection is based on exclusionary screens, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and carbon emissions targets.
Engagement Solutions
Our Engagement Solution allows participation in a joint outreach and dialogue with companies on material sustainability-related themes. By engaging collaboratively, it is possible to leverage scale in discussions on sustainability issues and communicate their concerns to corporate management more effectively.
