Ethinvest Environmental Index |
| Principles |
The non-weighted index is
formed based on companies selected on the basis of their environmental
performance. Most of the listed companies are small and mid
caps only a few companies have a higher market value. Exclusively
companies listed on the Australian Stock Exchange are accepted,
since they have to obey strict reporting regulations, Ethinvest
says.
