These companies are specifically selected for their robust environmental, social, and governance (ESG) credentials and their comparatively lower carbon intensity when measured against industry peers. The index applies a free-float adjusted market capitalization weighting scheme, and its composition is rigorously re-evaluated and rebalanced every quarter.
