Supplementary notes

These types of exclusions are applied in accordance with the Cluster-Munitions and Anti-Personnel Landmines law in Europe, as part of negative-screening strategies of socially responsible investment funds. Due to European diversity, the wide definition of responsible investment is any type of investment process that combines investors’ financial objectives with their concerns about Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues."
