The Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes are the first global indexes to track the financial performance of leading sustainability-driven companies. Companies are included in or deleted from the indexes based on their economic, environmental and social performance. The indexes provide investors with reliable and objective benchmarks to manage their sustainability portfolios.
