The Swiss stock exchange SIX launched new ESG indices in the Swiss equity and bond markets. These cover the sustainability criteria of environment, social/society and governance. Datwyler is part of the two new SPI ESG for equities. In developing its ESG indices, SIX has drawn on data sources including the independent Swiss sustaina-bility rating agency Inrate. The ESG Impact Rating developed by Inrate measures the positive and negative impacts of companies on the environment and society. To be included in the indices, a company must have an ESG Impact Rating of at least a C+ and generate no more than five percent of its revenue in a critical sector.
«We are proud to be part of the two new SPI ESG indices for equities. This is a tribute to our long-standing com-mitment to the various aspects of sustainability», says Datwyler CEO Dirk Lambrecht.
