Annual Revision of Ethibel & Aspi Indexes |
The composition of the ESI Excellence Europe and the ESI Excellence
Global indexes was modified on September 16, 2011, following Forum
Ethibel’s annual review. The ESI indexes – created in 2002 and the
property of Vigeo since 2005 – have raised the standards concerning the
responsibility of companies and socially responsible investments.
IEM
Finance manages the samples, calculations and diffusion of these
indexes. Several of their particularities, such as hedging the risk of
change and the application of different sector weighting coefficients of
market capitalisation, illustrate the type of customised indexes IEM
Finance offers.
