It's in comparison to weapons manufacturers, coal and oil companies, etc. A "less awful" index, if you will. If they were actually only including socially responsible companies the index would be useless, as it would be empty.
Why would it be empty? I can name several socially responsible companies like Blackbaud (software for non profits) and Docusign (sponsors save the rainforest initiatives)
