How is the Calvert Social Index Constructed?
The Calvert Social Index is created by taking the 1,000 largest companies
in the U.S., representing stocks listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ-AMEX (not
including closed-end mutual funds, ADRs, REITS, and non-common shares) and
ranks them in descending order based on their three month average market
capitalization.
Calvert Group's Social Research Department analyzes each company in the
base of 1,000 companies. A social audit is conducted in the following
areas: environment, workplace issues, product safety, community relations,
military weapons contracting, international operations and human rights,
and respecting the rights of indigenous peoples.
The stocks that meet Calvert Group's social criteria make up the Calvert
Social Index.
