Global Challenges Index
The Global Challenges Index was initiated by BÖAG Börsen AG, the parent company operating the stock exchanges in Hamburg and Hanover. The Hanover stock exchange commissioned oekom research AG to develop the concept for the Global Challenges Index and to compile the Index universe. The Global Challenges Index is a real innovation on the financial market. For the first time, it maps out trends in the model of sustainable development consistently and intelligibly in an index. Sustainability-oriented investors will profit from the Global Challenges Index, which
 | defines “sustainability” in concrete terms by focusing on seven future-relevant fields for action, |
| sets stringent and consistent performance criteria for the companies listed and |
| identifies pioneering companies that make active use of the opportunities provided by global change. |
The Global Challenges Index was launched and presented to the public Hamburg and Hanover September 3rd, 2007.
Further information on the selection process of the companies included in the Global Challenges Index is presented in the Factsheet.
