ESG Investor: "Scientific Beta launched a series of climate indices designed to translate companies’ climate performance and alignment engagement into portfolio decisions, thus helping investors to achieve real-world emissions reductions. Unlike indices which combine financial and climate criteria, either as tilts applied to reference cap weights, or of carbon intensity score optimisation under tracking error constraints, the Climate Impact Consistent Indices (CICI) make stock weights depend solely on their climate performance."
