March 16, 2015
On March 6th, 2015, the ESI Committee carried out the annual review of the components of the Ethibel Sustainability Index Excellence Europe and the Ethibel Sustainability Index Excellence Global.
ESI Excellence Europe
The ESI Excellence Europe index selects the 200 best rated companies on the basis of Forum ETHIBEL’s ratings and in accordance with the ESI Guidelines. At the review date the ESI Excellence Europe contained 198 companies.
At each yearly review, the ESI Committee withdraws the shares of companies that are no longer listed in the Ethibel Excellence Investment Register, are not in the reference index (Russel European) or do not fulfil the capitalisation requirement. Accordingly, the following 7 companies will be withdrawn from the index:
| ARCADIS | HOLCIM |
| HEINEKEN | PORTUGAL TELECOM |
| HEINEKEN HLDG | DE LA RUE |
| HOCHTIEF |
The shares of the following 9 companies have been selected to enter the ESI Excellence Europe index based on their rating in the Ethibel Excellence Investment Register:
| BASF | VALEO |
| VINCI | TRAVIS PERKINS |
| REPSOL | GAS NATURAL SDG |
