The indices alignment with Morningstar's widely recognised, highly intuitive global standard for ESG, the Morningstar Sustainability Rating for funds (the Globe Rating), as well as the utilisation of Sustainalytics' innovative data makes these indices stand out. What is the methodology behind the construction of the index family? Morningstar defines sustainable investing as an approach that considers environmental, social, and governance factors and their impact throughout the investment process. The core of the index methodology is the Sustainalytics' ESG Risk Rating. Sustainalytics, a global leader in ESG research, ratings and data - and a Morningstar-owned company - provides ESG Risk Rating scores on more than 11,000 companies across the globe. The ESG Ratings measures how well companies proactively manage the environmental, social and governance issues that are the most material to their business.
