State Street SPDR STOXX Europe 600 SRI UCITS
ETF
Website disclosure for an Article 8 fund
A . Summary
The State Street SPDR STOXX Europe 600 SRI UCITS ETF (“ Fund ”) is an index fund tracking the performance of the STOXX Europe 600 SRI Index (the “ Index ”) . The Index has been designated for the purpose of attaining the environmental and social characteristics promoted by the Fund. The environmental and social characteristics promoted by the Fund is the Index designated by the Fund and more specifically via an assessment and rating by Sustainalytics of various environmental, social and governance characteristics for companies in the index universe.
The Fund promotes environmental or social characteristics, but does not have as its objective a sustainable investment.
The environmental and social characteristics promoted by the Fund is the Index designated by the Fund and more specifically using the ESG rating that is constituted by data collected from investee companies and based on ESG scoring undertaken by Sustainaly tics. In addition, the index excludes securities based on their ESG characteristics, considering both their ESG rating and their involvement in certain controversial business activities and based on the level of their emission intensities as outlined in th e Index methodology.
The Investment Manager and/or Sub - Investment Manager, on behalf of the Fund, will invest using the replication strategy as further described in the "Investment Objectives and Policies – Index Tracking Funds" section of the Prospectus, primarily in the secu rities of the Index, at all times in accordance with the Investment Restrictions set forth in the Prospectus.
The Investment Manager employs a binding ESG methodology which aims to build a portfolio where at least 90% of the Fund’s assets are invested in securities which are aligned with environmental and social characteristics promoted by the Fund. The remaining portion (<10%) of the portfolio, consisting of cash as well as cash equivalents in place held at the Investment Manager’s discretion, will not be aligned with the promoted environmental and social characteristics. To the extent that the Fund may use finan cial derivative instruments, these will not be used to attain the environmental or social characteristics promoted by the Fund. The Fund does not commit to making sustainable investments within the meaning of the SFDR or the Taxonomy Regulation.
The proportion of the Fund’s portfolio invested in securities included in the Index will constitute sustainability indicator used to measure the attainment of each of the environmental or social characteristics promoted by the Fund.
The link to the Index methodology which captures the environmental or social characteristics promoted by the Fund is made available in the Relevant Supplement and is included below.

Information Classification: General
The data sources used to attain the relevant environmental or social characteristics are detailed in the Index methodology.
There is a risk that the index provider may make errors, such as incorrect assessment of the screen criteria described in the Investment Policy and/or include incorrect/exclude correct constituents in the screening process. Sustainable investing data may be based on certain assumptions, forecasts, projections, views and opinions which may be based on current market trends or anticipated future events. Given the developing and innovative nature of data models, methodologies and assumptions and the inherent uncertainty in predicting forward - looking events, it cannot be guaranteed that the s ustainable investing data is always accurate or correct or that the s ustainable investing data will satisfy the aims or requirements of any specific client or inve stor. Furthermore, there may be data that cannot be sourced due to the lack of availability of data sources.
State Street Investment Management oversees external vendors, including index providers, in line with its third party risk management programme. State Street Investment Management engages with index providers regularly for service level reviews and also undertakes targeted reviews of index providers’ processes, systems & systems controls, data, quality controls & IT security.
E ngagement policies are not directly embedded into the Fund’s investment strategy . Proxy voting and engagement activities are conducted pursuant to the terms of the Sustainability Stewardship Service Proxy Voting and Engagement Policy.
The Fund has designated the I ndex for the purpose of attaining environmental and social characteristics promoted by the Fund. The Index reviews are conducted on a quarterly basis in March, June, September and December.

Information Classification: General
The environmental and social factors promoted by the Fund are those which contribute to the Sustainalytics’ (the ESG research, ratings and data firm utilised by the Index provider) ESG Ratings, which are a function of an assessment and rating by Sustainaly tics of various environmental, social and governance characteristics for companies in the index universe.
For more information on Sustainalytics’ ESG Ratings scores, please refer to the Overview of Sustainalytics’ ESG Risk Ratings: https://connect.sustainalytics.com/hubfs/SFS/Sustainalytics%20ESG%20Risk%20Ratings_Issuer%20Backg rounder.pdf .
In addition, the index excludes securities based on their ESG characteristics, considering both their ESG rating and their involvement in certain controversial business activities and based on the level of their emission intensities as outlined in the Inde x methodology.
D . Investment Strategy
The investment policy of the Fund is to track the performance of the Index (or any other index determined by the Directors from time to time to track substantially the same market as the Index) as closely as possible, while seeking to minimise as far as po ssible the tracking difference between the Fund’s performance and that of the Index.
The Index measures the performance of European companies that are eligible for the STOXX Europe 600 Index, (the “ Standard Index ”), while excluding securities based on their ESG characteristics, considering both their ESG rating and their involvement in certain controversial business activities, and based on the level of their emission intensities as outlined in the Index methodology. The adoption of these screens within the Index correspond to the environmental and social factors which the Fund promotes, as further described in the “ESG Screening” and “ESG Best in Class Investing” subsection of the “ESG Investing” section of the Prospectus. Companies deemed by the Index provider to adhere to international norms and principles are considered to exhibit good g overnance .
The Investment Manager and/or Sub - Investment Manager, on behalf of the Fund, will invest using the replication strategy as further described in the "Investment Objectives and Policies – Index Tracking Funds" section of the Prospectus, primarily in the secu rities of the Index, at all times in accordance with the Investment Restrictions set forth in the Prospectus.
Companies deemed by the Index provider to adhere to international norms and principles are considered to exhibit good governance.

Information Classification: General

The Fund may hold 10% of its assets in cash or cash equivalents and derivatives used for currency hedging and efficient portfolio management purposes, at the Investment Manager’s discretion. Such assets will not be aligned with environmental and social characteristics, nor will there be any environmental or social safeguards in place.

I. Limitations to methodologies and data
Page 5

Information Classification: General
There is a risk that the index provider may make errors, such as incorrect assessment of the screen criteria described in the Investment Policy and/or include incorrect/exclude correct constituents in the screening process. Sustainable i nvesting scoring and screening is subject to inherent methodological limitations. Any assessment of s ustainable i nvesting criteria by an Index is based on the data provided by third parties. Such assessments are dependent upon information and data that may be incomplete, in accurate or unavailable, which could cause incorrect assessment of an issuer’s sustainable investing performance. In particular there may be potential inconsistencies, inaccuracy or a lack of availability of required sustainable investing data, particularl y where this is issued by external data providers. These limitations may include but are not limited to issues relating to: • Missing or incomplete data from companies (for example, relating to their capacity to manage their Sustainability Risks) which have been used as input for any scoring model; • The quantity and quality of sustainable investing data to be processed; and
• The identification of relevant factors for the sustainable investing analysis .
Sustainable i nvesting data may be based on certain assumptions, forecasts, projections, views and opinions which may be based on current market trends or anticipated future events. To assess company involvement in different activities and to estimate revenue shares as accuratel y as possible, data providers strive to obtain information directly from companies and issuers. Sources of data include annual reports, regulatory filings, sustainability reports, press releases, investor presentations, company websit es, and other company disclosures. Given the developing and innovative nature of data models, methodologies and assumptions and the inherent uncertainty in predicting forward - looking events, it cannot be guaranteed that the sustainable investing data is always accurate or correct or that the sustainable investing data will satisfy the aims or requirements of any specific client or investor. Furthermore, there may be data that cannot be sourced due to the lack of availability of data sources. For certain m arkets and types of issuers, companies or securities there may be significant limitations in the amount of sustainable investing data that is available or no sustainable investing data may be available such that no screening is performed by the index provider. In certain situations where screening data is not available for an issuer, an investee company or a security, the index provider may develop and use alternative screening methodologies, as a proxy, use data relating to a different entity to the issuer or the investee company, which presents a risk that this data may not accurately reflect the sustainability or other characteristics of the issuer or the investee company. In certain situations, even where screening data is available it may not be used as part of the index provider’s screening process. It is not expected that such limitations would affect how the environmental and social characteristics promoted by the Fund are met .
J. Due diligence
State Street Investment Management oversees external vendors, including index providers, in line with its third party risk management programme. State Street Investment Management engages with index providers regularly for service level reviews and also un dertakes targeted reviews of index providers’ processes, systems & systems controls, data, quality controls & IT security.
