Methodology

All stocks from Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden) that are components of the STOXX Global ESG Leaders Index compose the base universe of the iSTOXX Nordic ESG DW Index.

If there are less than 10 Nordic companies in the STOXX Global ESG Leaders, the base universe is completed with the best Nordic overall ESG score companies until it reaches 10 and the next two exclusion steps are omitted. (For more information regarding the ESG scores, please refer to our STOXX ESG Index Methodology Guide: https://www.stoxx.com/document/Indices/Common/Indexguide/stoxx_esg_guide.pdf).

Exclusion step 1: companies engaged in controversial business activities in agreement to Bank J. Safra Sarasin’s classification (AGTAFA) are excluded.

Exclusion step 2: companies that have not paid dividends in the last 12 months.

All remaining stocks are selected for inclusion and weighted according to their 12-month historical dividend yield. The index is reviewed on a quarterly basis.
