The iShares Dow Jones Europe Sustainability Screened and the iShares Dow Jones Global Sustainability Screened ETFs pursue the same investment objective – they select equities according to long-term economic, environmental and social criteria. They only include the top 20 percent of the 600 largest European and 2,500 largest global and sustainable companies from the Dow Jones Global Total Stock Market Index. Producers of alcohol, adult entertainment, gambling products, armaments and firearms are not represented in the index.

The product offering in Deutsche Börse’s XTF segment currently comprises a total of 838 exchange-listed index funds, making it the largest offering of all European stock exchanges. This selection, together with an average monthly trading volume of €14 billion, makes Xetra Europe’s leading trading venue for ETFs.
