What this report covers
Technologies: Directed Energy Weapons, Energetics, Propellants & Smart Munitions. A sourced, structured 10-page analysis for European defence and dual-use decision-makers, from the DFM research desk and built on official and primary sources.
About this report
European regulators and exchanges are explicitly adapting ESG rules to accommodate defence and dual‐use industries. In May 2025 Euronext redefined its ESG acronym to “Energy, Security & Geostrategy”, signaling support for defence firms. Crucially, Euronext has instructed ESG index providers to limit “controversial weapons” exclusions to only those arms banned by international treaties .
In practice this means companies with conventional weapons businesses can qualify for ESG funds, provided they have no involvement in treaty-prohibited weapons (e.g. chemical/biological arms, anti-personnel mines, blinding lasers, cluster munitions).
Key questions this report answers
- How does Euronext's May 2025 redefinition of ESG to "Energy, Security & Geostrategy" open ESG funds to conventional-weapons firms?
- What eligibility framework separates ESG-qualifying defence firms from those excluded for treaty-prohibited weapons involvement?
- Which 25 defence and dual-use companies does the report shortlist as most ESG-eligible under the new rules?
- How should ESG portfolio managers weigh treaty-banned-weapons screening when constructing defence exposure?
