Excellent analysis ! We at Ethical Markets follow many indices and often make critiques . The whole indexing field is due for a shakeout. We also advocate retiring GDP and substituting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as better roadmaps for national development.
How are you going to account for the explosion of CO2 emissions caused by bitcoin miners ' waste of fossil electricity and computer power, estimated at 23 terawatts annually (comparable to a country like Ecuador)?
See New Scientist and my article "Hey COP23: How about bitcoin miners' CO2 Emissions?"to what extent does the Nobel Foundation use ESG criteria in its investment decisions and what percentage of equities are in fossil fuels and in renewables and energy efficiency ?
