The objective of the iSTOXX Triodos Developed Markets Mid and Small Cap Impact Index is to track the performance of global small- and midcap companies that contribute positively to society and the environment, while excluding those that fail to meet strict ethical and sustainability standards.
William de Vries, Director Impact Equities and Bonds at Triodos Investment Management: “Small and medium-sized enterprises are often at the forefront of innovation and can present a huge positive impact potential. This index offers investors a practical small-mid cap benchmark that takes into account the strict minimum criteria that Triodos Investment Management applies to define its eligible sustainable equity investment universe.”
Antonio Celeste, Executive Director and Head of Sustainability & Factors at STOXX Index Product Management: "Institutional investors now have a first-of-kind custom-built impact suite of benchmarks providing exposure to small-, mid- and large-cap companies. This suite integrates positive sustainability impact metrics while minimising exposure to controversial activities."
