The SPDR ASX 200 ESG ETF provides investors with exposure to the largest 200 Australian/ASX-listed companies while also being tilted towards companies which exhibit strong Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) characteristics — and E200 excludes companies in tobacoo and controversial weapons and those which earn more than 5% of their revenue from thermal coal.
The E200 ETF invests in large Australian shares, such as those included in the popular ASX 200 index. However, it excludes companies involved in tobacco and controverial weapons. If a company earns more than 5% of its revenue from thermal it will be excluded.
