FTSE Environmental Technology Index Series

FTSE Group has launched the FTSE Environmental Technology Index Series in collaboration with the environmental technology specialist, Impax Asset Management, to provide two new environmental technology index solutions: the FTSE ET50 Index and FTSE Environmental Opportunities All-Share Index.

Developed under the direction of the independent FTSE Environmental Technology Committee, the indices further enhance FTSE’s suite of Responsible Investment indices and provide investors with an increasing set of robust responsible investment tools.

The family includes:

FTSE ET50 Index

An index measuring the performance of the largest 50 companies globally whose core business is in the development and deployment of environmental technologies. This includes alternative energy, water treatment, pollution control and waste management companies. Originally designed by Impax in 1999, it has been relaunched as the FTSE ET50 Index.

FTSE Environmental Opportunities All-Share Index

Aligned with the FTSE ET50 Index, this index measures the performance of a broader basket of over 450 global stocks that have at least 20% of their business derived from environmental markets and technologies. ET business activities include alternative energy, water treatment, pollution control and waste management.
