The
Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes were launched in 1999 as the first
global sustainability benchmarks. The indexes are offered cooperatively
by RobecoSAM and S&P Dow Jones Indices. Each year, they invite the
world's 2,500 largest companies, measured by free-float market
capitalization, from the 59 sectors to report on their sustainability
performance. The result of the Corporate Sustainability Assessment
provides an in-depth analysis of economic, environmental and social
criteria. The indexes serve as benchmarks for investors who integrate
sustainability considerations into their portfolios, and provide an
effective engagement platform for companies who want to adopt
sustainable best practices.
