The Ethos Swiss Corporate Governance Index is proprietary to Ethos and calculated and maintained by SIX Swiss Exchange AG

The index objectives are to:

  • Reduce governance risks by underweighting or excluding companies with poor governance practices;
  • Underweight companies with severe controversies and avoid overweighting companies with serious controversies;
  • Reduce carbon footprint by underweighting companies with very high carbon emissions;
  • Avoid overweighting companies with a weighting of over 10% in the SPI index;
  • Overweight all other companies.
