Amundi MSCI Europe ESG Leaders

ETF description

This ETF focuses on companies from across Europe that meet certain environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards. It selects businesses that score well on factors such as sustainability practices, corporate ethics, and social responsibility while excluding those that do not meet these criteria. The ETF includes companies from a range of industries, such as technology, healthcare, finance, and consumer goods.

The companies in this ETF are chosen based on their ESG performance relative to others in their sector. This means it does not simply invest in the largest or most well‑known firms but instead prioritizes those that demonstrate stronger commitments to responsible business practices. The selection is reviewed periodically to ensure the included companies continue to meet the required standards.

This ETF may appeal to investors who want exposure to European companies while considering ESG factors in their investment choices.
