The China CleanTech Index underperformed two of its four benchmarks for the month of August 2015 and recorded a loss of 10.3%. This was driven by big losses across all Chinese stocks due to the volatile Shanghai stock exchange.

The cleantech sector is fundamentally different to Socially Responsible Investments (SRI) or Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance. SRI and ESG look at incremental improvements in company performance and can be seen as 'operational hygiene' measures that find the best in class. Cleantech focuses on companies whose output positively enhances the communities and ecologies in which they reside. It is about doing 'more good' rather than 'less bad'.
The China CleanTech Index provides the definitive measure of the performance of Chinese cleantech companies that are listed on stock exchanges around the world.
The best performing sub-indices for the month were the China Storage Index with a 5.6% gain and the China Solar Index with a 3.4% gain. Of the 12 stocks that recorded gains of more than 20% over the month, four of these were energy storage companies and three were solar companies. The two weakest sub-indices through August were the China Waste Index which recorded a loss of 11.1% and the China Water Index recording a loss of 2.0%.
