FTSE4Good

The FTSE4Good Index Series is a collection of benchmark equity indices that are designed to measure the performance of companies that meet globally recognized Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria. Developed by FTSE Russell, a subsidiary of the London Stock Exchange Group, these indices provide investors with tools to assess and compare the sustainability performance of companies.

Companies are included in the FTSE4Good indices based on their performance against a comprehensive set of ESG ratings. These ratings are compiled by an independent assessment process that evaluates a company's policies, practices, and performance in areas such as climate change, labor standards, human rights, and corporate governance. The specific criteria and weightings are reviewed and updated annually to reflect evolving ESG best practices and stakeholder expectations.

The FTSE4Good Index Series aims to help investors integrate sustainability considerations into their investment decisions. By identifying companies that demonstrate strong ESG performance, investors can potentially mitigate risks, identify opportunities, and align their portfolios with their values. The indices are used globally by a wide range of investors, including institutional investors, pension funds, and asset managers, as a basis for creating sustainable investment funds and strategies. There are different indices within the series, covering various geographical regions and market capitalizations, allowing for broad application.
