The MSCI ESG Indexes are designed to support common approaches to environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing, and help institutional investors more effectively benchmark to ESG investment performance as well as manage, measure and report on ESG mandates. MSCI’s ESG Indexes also provide institutional investors with transparency into ESG sustainability and values alignment, together with the ability to compare holdings.

The Thematic Indexes reflect the performance of various broad investment themes. Thematic investing seeks to identify specific social, economic, industrial, environmental or demographic trends and their long-term secular, cyclical and structural influences on the world’s economies and markets.

The MSCI ESG indices incorporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) ratings: Best in Class, Socially Responsible Investment, Ex Controversial Weapons, Environmental, etc.
The MSCI Thematic Indices run across four main themes or sectors: Infrastructure, Agriculture and Food Chain, Commodity Producers, and Faith-based.
