Citi Launches ESG World Indices in Response to Ongoing Demand for ESG Benchmarks
Citi has launched a new equity benchmark index family which places Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations and opportunities at its core.
The Citi ESG World Indices are Citi s first proprietary indices to offer a benchmark for best-in-class ESG performers from across global markets.
The indices use ESG ratings provided by Arabesque, a leading ESG data and analytics company. Unlike other ESG index approaches which typically embed negative screening methodologies to reduce exposure to ESG risks such as those arising from controversial activities the Citi ESG World Indices adopts negative screening and also incorporate a differentiated, best-in-class approach, identifying the best performers in terms of ESG metrics.
