Visa (NYSE:V) today announced the company has been named to the
2017 Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index (DJSI), one of
the most prestigious indices for corporate responsibility and
sustainability performance. The Index recognizes companies that are
leading in their industry in global economic, environmental and
social contributions. In addition to Visa’s recognition on the

World’s Most Ethical Companies list earlier this year.
“At Visa, we are inspired by our mission to connect the world
through digital payments and help individuals, businesses and
economies to thrive,” said Douglas Sabo, vice president and head of
Corporate Responsibility and Philanthropy at Visa Inc. “As we
continue to fulfill our mission, we are proud of the leadership we
demonstrate in operating responsibly, ethically and
sustainably.”
According to the results of the annual review process, Visa
outperformed its industry averages in 16 of 21 topic areas. Visa’s
highest scoring areas include corporate governance, corporate
citizenship and philanthropy, IT security, talent attraction and
retention and codes of business conduct.
Visa recently published its annual Corporate
Responsibility Report, titled “Everyone, Everywhere,” which
provides a comprehensive view of Visa’s sustainability commitments
and progress. Areas of focus include Visa’s work to transform
commerce, expand financial access, invest in its people, operate
responsibly and strengthen communities.
