Moscow Exchange (MOEX) just announced that, starting from April 1, 2019, it will begin calculating and publishing daily sustainability indices created jointly with the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP).
The indices will be based on RSPP’s annual analysis of Russia’s largest companies demonstrating a robust ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) profile.
The MOEX-RSPP Responsibility and Transparency Index will comprise 22 companies, while the MOEX-RSPP Sustainability Vector Index will feature 15, showing the greatest progress in terms of ESG compared to the previous year.
The indices will be reviewed annually.
