The Dow Jones Sustainability World Index is a widely recognized benchmark for sustainability performance of companies globally. It is a subset of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) family, which assesses the sustainability performance of thousands of publicly traded companies worldwide.
The Dow Jones Sustainability World Index is designed to provide investors with a comprehensive picture of a company’s sustainability performance. It assesses companies based on their economic, environmental, and social performance. The index is calculated by S&P Dow Jones Indices, a leading global index provider.
The methodology behind the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index involves a rigorous evaluation process that assesses companies based on a set of criteria. These criteria include economic performance, environmental performance, and social performance. The evaluation process involves a combination of quantitative and qualitative assessments, including a review of a company’s policies, practices, and performance.
The Dow Jones Sustainability World Index is widely used by investors and asset managers as a benchmark for sustainability performance. It is also used by companies to measure their own sustainability performance and to identify areas for improvement.
