State Street Named to the North American DJSI for 10 of the Past
11 Years
State Street Corporation (NYSE:STT) today announced that it has
again been named to the North America Dow Jones Sustainability
Index (DJSI) for its commitment to corporate social responsibility
and citizenship. As a result of its increased corporate
sustainability, State Street improved its 2015 scores in all three
categories in the index1: Economic (70 to 77); Environmental (65 to
74); and Social (48 to 55). State Street also improved its overall
score from 61 to 69, placing it in the 82nd percentile.
Launched in 1999, the DJSI is the gold standard for corporate
sustainability and the first index to track the leading
sustainability-driven companies based on partner RobecoSAM’s
analysis of financially relevant Environmental, Social, and
Governance (ESG) factors and S&P DJI’s robust index
methodology. State Street has been named to the North America DJSI
for 10 of the past 11 years.
“Being a responsible corporate citizen is no longer a ‘nice to
have’; it’s a must have,” said Michael Scannell, senior vice
president of Corporate Citizenship and head of the State Street
Foundation. “Each year we look at areas in which we can improve our
sustainability efforts across the organization and our inclusion in
the North America Dow Jones Sustainability Index and year-over-year
improvement illustrates our dedication to that effort.”
RobecoSAM invited the world’s largest 3,400 companies from
developed and emerging markets to take part in its annual Corporate
Sustainability Assessment (CSA), which consists of more than 100
financially relevant questions.
