Rationale for Methodology Change
The ‘DATA PROVIDER’ has opted to discontinue the data points associated with the Green Revenues Category and has chosen to substitute them with new ones.
Changes to the Index Guideline
The following Methodology changes will be implemented in the following points of the Index Guideline 2.2 SELECTION OF THE INDEX COMPONENTS:
