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."
Launched in 1999, the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) now include global, regional and country sustainability benchmarks. 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.
