The Ethibel Sustainability
Index = a financial and a social profit
The Ethibel Sustainability Index (ESI) provides a comprehensive
perspective on the financial performance of the world's leading
companies in terms of sustainability for institutional investors,
asset managers, banks and retail investors.
The Ethibel Sustainability Index (ESI) groups two global indices:
ESI Pioneer Global, ESI Excellence
Global and two regional indices: ESI Pioneer
Europe and ESI Excellence Europe.
The ESI Excellence Europe is for
example used by 'Het Vlaams Zorgfonds'.
Ethibel has contracted Standard
& Poor's, widely recognised as a leading provider
of equity indexes, to maintain and calculate the Ethibel Sustainability
Indexes.
The Indexes are designed to approximate the sector weights
on the S&P Global 1200, but the selection remains the
exclusive responsibility of Ethibel. They are free-float weighted
indexes containing the best-in-class companies with respect
to sustainability across sectors and regions in Europe, the
Americas and Asia Pacific.
World-class sustainability research
To select its constituents, Ethibel
applies its own screening
methodology and evaluation.
The distinctive characteristics of this methodology originate
from the integration of the two strongest concepts of corporate
social responsibility: sustainable development and stakeholder
involvement.
The company database gives you full access to the list
of all the ESI constituents. You can search
the database or you can dowload the list
of all the ESI constituents in a pdf-document.
Solid return
This cooperation results in an index which contains the leaders
in the field of CSR in the world market and provides an insight
into a solid financial return. Based on retrospective
calculations by Standard & Poor's the Ethibel Sustainability
Index outperformed S&P Global 1200 over the last years.
This combination means that the Ethibel Sustainability Index
is a strong tool for investment with both a financial and
a social return.
