Solactive QUB L&G ESG Global Markets Screened Equity Index PR

The index is designed by Solactive and Legal & General Investment Management (“L&G”) by first screening the parent index universe to only incorporate companies that do not have excessive exposure or involvement in UNGC violation, controversial weapons, fossil fuels, tobacco and companies on the UN HRC List and then tilting the screened universe in order to increase the exposure to companies with higher L&G ESG scores. In addition, the components are weighted based on an optimized algorithm in order to achieve climate neutrality by 2040.
