EMCS targets stocks meeting specific environmental and climate criteria from a broad global equity universe, provided they are also part of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Companies involved in controversial business activities are excluded. The strategy evaluates each company's reputational and brand risks across five ESG categories: environment, human rights & community impact, labor rights & supply chain, customers, and governance. Eligible stocks are selected and weighted using an optimization process focused on emission intensity and reduction targets. This process aims to (i) reduce revenue-related GHG emissions intensity by 10%, (ii) reduce financing-related GHG emissions intensity activities by 7%, and (iii) increase weight in companies with SBTi-approved GHG emissions reduction target(s). Before November 4, 2024, the fund was named Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders Equity ETF, trading as EMSG, and tracked the MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Leaders Index.
