Oxford Instruments named in FTSE Green Index 
 
The new FTSE Environmental Opportunities Index identifies companies that are 
leading the way in low carbon related activities. 
 
 
To make the list, companies must have significant involvement in environmental 
business activities and must generate at least 20% of revenues from environment 
related markets. This includes renewable and alternative energy, energy 
efficiency and waste and pollution control. The list comprises 472 companies 
from around the world.   Oxford Instruments has been named among the thirty 
British companies on the list. 
 
Today Oxford Instruments is providing equipment to the developers of 
photovoltaic devices who are seeking to produce cost effective solutions for 
turning sunlight into electricity.  It is also working with international 
agencies on the ITER programme which seeks to develop a technology that will 
allow the production of large quantities of carbon free energy. High Brightness 
Light Emitting Diodes offer the possibility of lighting, which is so efficient 
that if adopted widely would make significant cuts in worldwide CO2 emissions. 
Oxford Instruments' equipment is being used in their development. 
 
 
Its hand-held analysers are being used to detect heavy metal pollution more 
effectively than has ever been done before and as more stringent environmental 
controls are demanded, Oxford Instruments will provide the answer to them. 
 
Oxford Instruments high technology tools and systems are used by customers in 
research and industry who address the global issues of environmental 
preservation, energy conservation and health and security.
