The Euronext Biodiversity Index that excludes companies which significantly harm biodiversity.
Why support companies that protect biodiversity?
The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) defines biodiversity as “the variability among all sources including, inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part”. This includes diversity within species, between species, and of ecosystems.
Biodiversity is essential to sustaining humanity and all life on earth. Nature plays a critical role: it covers the processes that make up our ecosystems and gives us clean water, air, food and medicines. The current acceleration of global biodiversity loss is one of the most significant threats to society (OECD, 2019).
Among these are climate change, pollution, invasive species, and exploitation of resources. These themes are echoed in the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) post-2022, adopted at the UN Biodiversity Conference at COP15 in Montreal in December 2022, and in the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD).
Euronext Biodiversity Screened World Index Key principles
The index is designed to exclude companies that significantly harm biodiversity such as climate change, pollution, invasive species, and exploitation of resources. Constructed in collaboration with Iceberg Data Lab, the index methodology also excludes companies with revenues coming from the production of Plastics or Pesticides and of issuers with revenues coming from the production or the consumption of non-RSPO Palm Oil.
The index leverages on biodiversity research and product involvement as assessed by Iceberg Data Lab.
The Euronext Biodiversity Screened World Index offers opportunities for a large range of investment vehicles such as ETFs, funds and structured products.
