In 2008, the Danske Bank Group was added to the ECPI Ethical Index Global and the ECPI Ethical Index Euro.
ECPI employs a two-step SRI screening method.
The first stage is a positive screening based on about 100 tests of ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria in the following categories: environmental strategy, environmental managment, products, production process, employees and human capital, market, corporate governance and shareholders, and compliance with UN standards.
The second stage consists of the exclusion of companies that are active in controversial industries such as tobacco, the military, alcohol and gaming. The final result of the analysis is a synthetic rating.
