The Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) are a compilation of global sustainability benchmarks that assess and quantify the sustainability performance of thousands of publicly listed enterprises in various sectors. Established in 1999, the DJSI is considered the most enduring global sustainability benchmark. It is a collaborative effort between S&P Dow Jones Indices and RobecoSAM (Sustainable Asset Management). DJSI evaluates ESG factors to rank companies as global sustainability leaders. The indices offer investors, companies, and stakeholders an integrated framework for analyzing and comparing sustainability performance.

Companies cannot directly seek to be included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices. The DJSI components are selected based on a detailed ESG assessment that evaluates corporate governance, climate strategy, resource efficiency, and social responsibility. Each company receives a DJSI ESG rating and DJSI score determined through the RobecoSAM Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). This structured DJSI reporting framework ensures comparability and credibility in sustainability performance across industries.

The Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) is a family of global sustainability benchmarks that evaluate the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance of publicly listed companies. It was launched in 1999 as a collaboration between S&P Dow Jones Indices and Sustainalytics/S&P Global to track the stock performance of leading sustainable companies worldwide.
The DJSI measures a company’s long-term economic, environmental, and social performance using detailed ESG criteria. It assesses how well companies manage sustainability risks and opportunities compared to peers in their industry. Key areas measured include: • Corporate governance and ethics • Climate strategy and carbon footprint • Human rights and labor practices • Resource efficiency and innovation • Supply chain management • Transparency and stakeholder engagement
The DJSI Index is a set of indices (such as DJSI World, DJSI North America, DJSI Europe, etc.) that track the stock performance of top-performing companies in sustainability across regions and sectors. It acts as both a benchmark for investors and a recognition platform for companies leading in ESG practices.
The main purpose of the DJSI is to identify and reward companies that lead in sustainability — integrating ESG performance into financial markets. It helps investors: • Track sustainability leaders • Integrate ESG into investment strategies • Promote responsible corporate behavior globally
