By April 2021, out of 6,969 companies in MSCI's dataset, only 28 companies had a score of 0. A further 138 companies had a score of 1, which put them on the watchlist. Companies with a score of 0 are excluded from the MSCI ESG Focus Indexes. Another example of negative screening is MSCI Select ESG Screened Indexes, which immediately excludes companies that fail to comply with the global norms, particularly the UNGC. Also, MSCI designed several more indexes to reflect the performances of companies that have above-average ESG ratings relative to their sector peers. For example, MSCI Emerging Markets (EM) Select ESG ex Controversies Index, a sub-index of MSCI Emerging Market Index, requires companies eligible for inclusion to have an MSCI ESG Controversies Score of 3 or above.
