On September 1, 2010 MSCI officially commenced the management and calculation of the MSCI ESG Indices. Building on the existing family of KLD indices developed over the past 20 years, MSCI ESG Indices aim to serve as sustainability, values-based and environmental benchmarks and as the basis for investment products.
The transition of the KLD indices to the new MSCI ESG Indices coincides with the MSCI August 2010 Quarterly Index Review, which was implemented as of the close of August 31, 2010. The MSCI ESG Indices are based on the MSCI Global Investable Market Indices and follow the regular MSCI Index Review schedule.
MSCI ESG Indices use ESG data, ratings, analysis, reports, analytics or other information or materials from the ESG Research Group1.
