The Taiwan Sustainability Value Index (TWSVI) is composed through collaboration between the National Taipei University College of Business and Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy. The Index tracks the price movements in shares of companies which are identified as top companies in corporate sustainability in Taiwan. The Index composition is selected based on screening of corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance, financial performance, and market quality. CSR performance is rated through over 300 questions covering social, economic, environmental, and disclosure (SEED) dimensions. The Index is constructed based on proprietary academic research profiles of sustainability factors. In addition, reputable CSR awards and rankings in Taiwan are taken into account. For each company, a Total Sustainability Score is given through summing up scores linked to CSR questionnaires. The Total Sustainability Score is used to rank the companies within financial and non-financial industries to identify companies eligible for inclusion in the index. The constituents of the index are weighted according to Free Float Market Capitalization, subject to maximum weight of 30% for each constituent. The index composition is being assessed annually based on the current year performance.
