ESG International Stock
ESG International Stock allows donors to align charitable investments with personal values. Companies are screened for certain ESG criteria, and the fund utilizes three levels of restrictiveness for exclusions, as companies are screened on primary (i.e., producer/manufacturer) and, in most cases, secondary (i.e., retailer/supplier) involvement in the ESG exclusion categories using revenue-based thresholds. Least restrictive categories include adult entertainment, alcohol, and gambling. Moderately restrictive categories include tobacco, cannabis, and conventional (military) weapons. Most restrictive categories include controversial weapons, civilian firearms, nuclear power, and fossil fuels. The index fund also excludes stocks of certain companies that the index provider determines do not meet standards of U.N. global compact principles and companies that do not meet certain diversity criteria.
