‚ The International Labour Organisation’s Declaration on
Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work

The Credit Suisse Social Awareness Index has outperformed major indices: generating ability and overall potential for value creation.
HOLT’s proprietary framework currently includes over 20,000 stocks in more than 60 countries. Companies are comparable across sectors and regions, and over time, because accounting and inflation distortions are systematically treated to assess the underlying economics of the business.
