The Calvert Social Index is a stock market index created by Calvert Investments as a benchmark of large companies that are considered socially responsible or ethical.
[1] It currently consists of 680 companies, weighted by market capitalization, selected from approximately 1,000 of the largest publicly traded companies in the United States using Calvert's social criteria.
[2] These criteria relate to the environment, workplace issues, product safety, community relations, weapons contracting, international operations, and human rights.
The Calvert index is used by so-called socially responsible or ESG mutual funds as a benchmark for their performance.
