The FTSE Global Choice Index Series is designed to help investors align their portfolios with their individual values by selecting companies based on the impact of their conduct and products on society and the environment. The Series is market cap-weighted with a rules-based methodology for defining how the products and conduct of a company impact society and the environment. The underlying framework includes large, mid, and small securities across developed and emerging markets globally, with modular indexes available to target specific country markets. The result is a framework for applying robust and customizable values-based screens to a range of broad market indexes. The Index Series can include negative screens in three product categories and two conduct categories. Individual indexes within the series may only apply a subset of the screening categories.

The product-related screening category covers:

Non-Renewable Energy (Fossil Fuel and Nuclear Power)
Vice Products (Adult Entertainment, Alcohol, Gambling and Tobacco)
Weapons (Chemical & Biological Weapons, Cluster Munitions, Anti-Personnel Landmines, Nuclear Weapons, Conventional Military Weapons and Civilian Firearms)

The conduct-related screening category covers:

Controversies (based on the UN Global Compact Principles)
Diversity practices
