The Calvert Social Index™ is a broad-based, rigorously constructed
benchmark for measuring the performance of large, US-based socially
responsible companies.
Calvert starts by taking the 1,000 largest companies in the US, representing
stocks listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ-AMEX and ranks them in descending order
based on their three-month average market capitalization.
Calvert's Social Research Department conducts an audit including
product safety, environment, workplace issues, international operations
and human rights, community relations and weapons contracting on each company
in the base of 1,000 companies. The stocks that meet Calvert's social
criteria make up the Calvert Social Index.
