Solactive ISS ESG Developed Markets Net Zero Pathway EUR Index PR

The Solactive ISS ESG Developed Markets Net Zero Pathway EUR Index PR aims to represent Developed Market securities in a fashion that complies with the regulations laid out for EU Paris-Aligned Benchmarks (EU PAB). It also aims to implement recommendations published by the IIGCC in their Net Zero investment Framework. The underlying securities are selected in such a manner that the resulting benchmark portfolio’s GHG emissions are aligned with the long-term global warming target of the Paris Climate Agreement, including only companies operating in accordance with market standards for responsible business conduct (Norms-Based Research) and controversial weapons. Those standards are based on established norms such as the United Nations Global Compact and the exclusion of significant involvement in defined sectors. In addition, certain activities are excluded from the index based on fixed revenue thresholds. The index is calculated as a PR version in EUR.
