Global Challenges Index Paris Aligned NTR

The Global Challenges Index Paris Aligned (GCX PA) tracks the performance of companies in the global stock market. These are selected to ensure that the GHG emissions of the resulting portfolio are aligned with the long-term global warming targets of the Paris Agreement and meet the defined stringent sustainability rating requirements and the additional exclusion criteria of the GCX, which was launched in 2007. These standards are based on the 7 Global Challenges and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The index operates in line with the regulations laid out for EU Paris-Aligned Benchmarks (EU PAB) in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1818 of 17 July 2020 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 of the European Parliament and European Council as regards the minimum standards for EU Climate Transition Benchmarks and EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks. The index is calculated as a NTR version in EUR.
