Incorporating expertise from sustainable investment analytics firm rfu, the index uses ESG factors for over 30 commodities across energy, agriculture and metals.

The model looks to integrate social and environmental risks from a production and utilisation perspective, as well as a commodity's country production mix using rfu's sovereign rating model.
