Annual Review of the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index Is Completed
3 September 2009:
SAM Group has completed its annual review of the global stock market performance of the top 10% of leading sustainability companies, and the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) has been updated to reflect the results of the review.
Following SAM's analysis, 33 companies have been added to the DJSI World and 33 have been deleted, leaving the number of components in the Index at 317. On the basis of SAM's analysis, the components of nine subset indexes were updated, as well.
The DJSI World was launched in 1999. The Index is weighted based on market capitalization, and changes are made every September based on SAM's updated sustainability scores. SAM's annual review is based on its analysis of corporate economic, environmental and social performance, and assessments of corporate governance, risk management, branding, climate change mitigation, supply chain standards, and labor practices.
