Launch of the Solactive Vigeo Eiris Biodiversity Index

Investors can help protect the Earth's resources by using the Solactive Vigeo Eiris Biodiversity Index and to identify companies that integrate the protection of biodiversity into their corporate social responsibility strategy.

The index provides an opportunity for investors to benefit from a global trend towards a greener future. The constituents of the index are early adopters and role-models in dealing constructively with the problem of biodiversity loss. Thus, they are well-positioned for regulatory changes and profit from increased ESG fund flows.
