In addition to the Global 100 Companies that I presented earlier in the week, I would to introduce viewers to the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes. Dow Jones launched the Sustainability Indexes in 1999.
From their website (http://www.sustainability-indexes.com) “the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes are the first global indexes tracking the financial performance of the leading sustainability-driven companies worldwide.
……The DJSI family currently comprises global, European, Eurozone, North American and US benchmarks.
Dow Jones Sustainability World Index – The Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) covers the top 10% of the biggest 2,500 companies in the Dow Jones World Index in terms of economic, environmental and social criteria.
Dow Jones STOXX Sustainability Index and Dow Jones EURO STOXX Sustainability Index – As a benchmark for European sustainability investments, the Dow Jones STOXX Sustainability Index (DJSI STOXX) covers the leading 20% in terms of sustainability of the companies in the Dow Jones STOXX SM 600 Index. The Dow Jones EURO STOXX Sustainability Index (DJSI EURO STOXX) is the Eurozone subset of the DJSI STOXX and, thus, tracks the financial performance of sustainability leaders in this particular region.
Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index and Dow Jones Sustainability United States Index
The Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index (DJSI North America) cover the leading 20% in terms of sustainability of the 600 biggest North American companies in the Dow Jones World Index. The Dow Jones Sustainability United States Index (DJSI United States) is the US subset of the DJSI North America.”
In the next few weeks, I will present reports from DJSI on the various companies they have rated in their Indexes – watch out for that.
