Citi - ESG Book

Client Requirement

Citi identified ESG Book as its preferred data partner for the development of an equity benchmark index family that places ESG consideration and opportunities at its core.

ESG Book partnered with Citi to develop the ‘Citi ESG World Indices’, the bank’s first proprietary indices to offer a benchmark for best-in-class ESG performers from across global markets.

The Indices embed a quantitative analysis of ESG considerations through the use of ESG Book’s market-leading sustainability data.

The Citi ESG World Index family highlight our ability to collaborate with market leading platforms to support our aim of delivering best-in-class solutions to investors.
