Disclaimer

Forum ETHIBEL continually selects and monitors companies.
The inclusion of companies in the register is carried out with the greatest care and the assesment is as much as possible done in relation to the sector. With the inclusion of a particular company, Forum ETHIBEL does not judge other companies operating in the same sector.
The list of companies in the register is in a state of constant flux. New companies are added regurarly and sometimes stocks may be removed. For the latest version, Forum ETHIBEL should always be consulted.

The inclusion of a company in the investment register is based on the Ethibel rules and regulations. Balancing the financial pros and cons of a particular stock in the registers remains the full responsibility of the fund managers.

The use of the Ethibel Registers in the context of fund management is subject to a mutual written agreement between Vigeo and the 'user'. Without such a contract nobody may use the wordings "Ethibel", "Ethibel Label", "Ethibel Sustainability Index" or "Forum ETHIBEL" for an investment portfolio. Forum ETHIBEL nor Vigeo can in no way be helt responsible for any damage or loss as a result of any investment based on the Ethibel Investment Register.

The inclusion of a company in the register does not mean sticking an "ethical" or "socially responsible" label onto that company. Inclusion in the Ethibel Registers means that a stock complies with the Ethibel selection rules and regulations, which may lead to the labeling of an investment fund. This does not make a company "ethical" or "socially responsible" in itself.

Short profiles only provide a brief summary of more complex technical dossiers. Forum ETHIBEL assessments are based on a variety of information sources, that are considered to be reliable and trustworthy. However, Forum ETHIBEL will not accept any responsibility if the contents of these documents are disputed.

Vigeo and Forum ETHIBEL monitor and re-assess Register and Index companies on a continuous base. Being a member of the Ethibel Register cannot guarantee the "ethical or CSR behaviour" of the company in the future.
