The ET Index Series ranks corporations listed on major stock markets against their absolute greenhouse gas emissions, this data is referenced against information from the Carbon Disclosure Project www.cdproject.net and company reports. It adjusts the weightings given to those companies within their respective indexes according to their position in the Carbon Ranking. If the adjusted indexes are supported by a sufficiently large pool of index investors, companies will have a new and fundamental incentive to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to avoid their share price being damaged by their position in the index.

The ET Index Series is being sponsored by the Environmental Investment Organisation www.eio.org.uk, a non-profit specialist NGO of 15 years standing in the field of ecological and ethical investment systems.
