Whilst coverage increased from 2018 to 2019 the main equity and the corporate bond indices remained part of the analysis. The 5 remaining indices were either replaced with an equivalent or excluded to expand the coverage more into factor indices (S&P 500 Carbon Efficient, S&P 500 Carbon Price Risk 2030 Adjusted and the S&P 500 Fossil Fuel Free). For the first time the analysis included a 2 Degree alignment metric which measures the alignment of the indices’ constituents GHG emissions with the global transition pathway required to limit global warming to below 2Degree.
