In 1990 MSCI launched one of the first SRI indexes, now the MSCI KLD 400 Social Index.
Aligning your investments with your values
Our indexes target the top 25% of companies across sectors according to their MSCI ESG Ratings. Sustainability scores are translated to an ‘AAA’ to ‘CCC’ scale, indicating how a company manages issues relative to industry peers. The indexes also seek to exclude companies involved with nuclear weapons, tobacco, gambling and other controversial businesses.
