The goal is to limit global warming to no more than 1.5°C. To achieve this, companies should reduce their carbon emissions by 10 per cent annually and physical risks from extreme weather conditions by at least 50 per cent. Companies that benefit from measures to combat climate change and for which new business opportunities arise as a result are overweighted.

Excluded from the index are companies that are not in line with the principles of the United Nations Global Compact, are involved in serious ESG-related controversies or are active in the areas of thermal coal, nuclear energy, weapons, gambling, tobacco and genetically modified organisms.
