The Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) has announced that it will launch an investment index listing global ethical companies. It will donate all its licence fees, estimated to top $1 million, to Unicef.
The index, to be called the FTSE 4Good UK is one of a set of indices developed in partnership with the Ethical Investment Research Service. It will go live in June 2001.
The link between the FTSE and UNICEF follows a visit by FTSE Chief Executive Mark Makepace to a UNICEF project in Ghana in 2000.
