Helping you build climate resilience in your portfolio
Our indexes are designed to shift focus away from fossil-fuel based companies — and potential stranded assets — and toward companies positioned to benefit from the transition to a greener global economy. They can be used as a standalone index or as an overlay to a sustainability strategy.
We use the MSCI Low Carbon Transition score and category to help interpret the dimensions of low-carbon transition risks and opportunities and compare companies within and across sectors.
We also aim to maintain a broad and diverse universe, limiting exclusions to companies involved in:
- Manufacturing of controversial weapons
- ESG controversies
- Environmental controversies
- Tobacco-related businesses
- Thermal coal extraction and mining
