The Russell US ESG Indexes are a broad-based, alternatively-weighted US equity index family based on the Russell US Indexes. The indexes are designed to measure the performance of US mega cap to microcap securities excluding companies that operate in certain sectors (weapons, tobacco, oil sands, shale energy, thermal coal, UNGC controversies), while maintaining similar risk/return characteristics to the underlying universe. The indexes are constructed using robust screening criteria and includes an index level ESG active factor exposure target using LSEG ESG company scores.
