FTSE4Good Australia 30 Index - 22 September 2008
The FTSE4Good Australia 30 Index comprises the top 30 Australian companies that are actively meeting good standards of practice in corporate responsibility. By working towards various corporate responsibility themes – including environmental management, climate change mitigation, countering bribery, upholding human and labour rights and supply chain labour standards – these companies meet the stringent criteria required for inclusion in the FTSE4Good universe.
The index is designed to enable responsible investors to identify and invest in companies that meet globally recognised corporate responsibility standards. It provides asset managers with a responsible investment benchmark and a tool for the development of responsible investment products, and allows investors to capitalise on the benefits of good corporate responsibility.
The FTSE4Good Index Series is a set of benchmark and tradable indices for responsible investors, derived from the globally recognised FTSE Global Equity Index Series. It forms part of FTSE’s wider portfolio of responsible investment solutions, which also includes the FTSE Environmental Technology Index Series.
