An S&P DJI Index Committee, which oversees the index, assesses the revised ESG score to determine whether the company continues to meet the eligibility criteria and therefore should remain in or be removed from an index. Even though Wirecard was not in any S&P ESG Index and thus could not trigger this process, the S&P ESG Index Series does have measures in place to account for controversies affecting current constituents. Wirecard's struggles with governance are well documented by now. The financial-materiality-driven CSA framework was designed to identify a company's sustainability performance from an ESG perspective. The combination of Wirecard's ESG score plus the S&P ESG Index Series methodology appears to be fulfilling its intended design.
