Scientific Beta has announced that it is now providing an ESG option for all of its indices.
This means investors can use Scientific Beta’s High Factor Intensity and Multi-Beta Multi-Strategy indices and reduce their exposure to companies with high ESG risks. The ESG option excludes companies that fall short of global standards of responsible business conduct, deprive shareholders of voting rights or are involved in activities that conflict with global ESG norms or their objectives (anti-personnel landmines and cluster munitions, tobacco manufacturing, coal).
