ECPI offers a wide range of ESG indices built using its proprietary ESG Rating Methodology (positive screening) and controversial sector exclusion (negative screening). ECPI products cover all main global markets and assets classes, including equity, fixed income (corporate and sovereign), alternatives and funds.
ECPI's screening methodologies and database of issuers have evolved since the Company's inception in 1997, incorporating sustainability and other non-traditional risk factors into quantitative analysis ready for use by investors. These methodologies take widely-recognised international standards for sustainability into consideration, including:
- UN Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI)
- UN Human Rights Declaration
- UN Global Compact
- International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions
- ISO, OHSAS and other health and safety standards
- Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)
- The Kyoto Protocol
