MSCI in Practice:

Quantifying the Return on Investment of sustainability through indexed AUM

In this session, MSCI experts will demonstrate how companies and their advisors can leverage index-linked insights - together with key sustainability and climate metrics - to better understand their relative positioning and visibility in capital markets. 

We’ll showcase the Index Composition Viewer, a new tool available on MSCI ONE that can help you: 

• Determine MSCI’s Sustainability & Climate index inclusion and weightings
• Quantify indexed AUM tracking indexes
• Evaluate performance on key Sustainability & Climate metrics 

We’ll also explore how CFOs, investor relations teams, and advisors are incorporating these insights into disclosure planning, capital engagement strategies, and long-term value creation.

Key highlights will include: 

• MSCI’s leading index franchise, including 1 trillion USD tracking our S&C Indexes and a 70% market share in assets linked to sustainability and climate indexes. 
• Why sustainability and climate matters - not just for reputation, but for capital: Companies with stronger sustainability profiles often feature in more indexes and attract higher levels of indexed AUM (after normalizing for company size).
• Relevant research from MSCI’s Index and Sustainability teams, and case studies of companies that enhanced their sustainability & climate metrics and saw a measurable boost in indexed capital.
