FTSE Russell Factsheet Index Series bmktitle1 Launched in 2001, the Index Series is a series of benchmark and tradable indexes for ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investors. The index series is derived from the globally recognised FTSE Global Equity Index Series, offering FTSE Russell s world-famous hallmark of cutting-edge index design and calculation technology. The criteria is applied to the FTSE Developed Index Series, which covers 23 markets and over 2,000 potential constituents. In the UK, the universe of eligible constituents is drawn from the FTSE All-Share Index. The series consists of six benchmark indexes covering the Developed and European regions, the US, Japan and the UK. An additional five tradable indexes have been specially designed to provide asset managers with a cheap and efficient basis for investment products. These cover the UK, US, European, Australian and Developed regions, as well as the Environmental Leaders Europe 40 Index which focuses specifically on European companies within the universe that demonstrate leading environmental practices. Criteria are developed using an extensive market consultation process and are approved by an independent committee of experts. A broad range of stakeholders help shape the criteria, including NGOs, governmental bodies, consultants, academics, the investment community and the corporate sector. To remain consistent with market expectations and developments in ESG practice, the inclusion criteria are revised regularly. FTSE Russell engages with companies that no longer meet the standards and they are given a period of grace to try and improve their scores. If there is no improvement then the company is deleted from the index series. The criteria have been designed to help investors minimise ESG risks. Companies with the largest risk and impacts have to meet additional sector specific criteria.
