"We congratulate Nielsen for being included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for North America,” said Manjit Jus, Global Head of ESG Research, S&P Global. “A DJSI distinction is a reflection of being a sustainability leader in your industry. The record number of companies participating in the 2021 S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment is testament to the growing movement for ESG disclosure and transparency."

These Indices are reviewed and updated annually based on companies’ S&P Global ESG Score from the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment, which evaluates the ESG performance of participating companies. In 2021, more than 10,000 publicly traded companies were invited to participate in the S&P Global CSA.
