- Selected Constituent of North America Index Component of the
Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) for Second Year in a
Row
- Named Industry Leader for Third Year in America's Most Just
Companies by Forbes and JUST Capital
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology
company that helps enterprises, service providers and governments
accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced
the company has been selected as a constituent of the Dow Jones
Sustainability North America Index (DJSI), as well as named
industrial goods industry leader in America's Most JUST Companies
by Forbes and JUST Capital. This is the second year in a row that
Keysight has been included in the DJSI and third year ranking in
the top industry spot for America’s Most JUST Companies.
The DJSI combine transparent rules-based index methodology from
S&P Dow Jones Indices (S&P DJI) with robust data from the
SAM Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), an annual evaluation
of companies’ sustainability practices1. Keysight's inclusion --
among only five companies in the Technology Hardware &
Equipment industry group selected for the North America index this
year -- exemplifies the company's continued commitment to building
a better planet through its CSR efforts.
The JUST Capital Rankings evaluate the 1,000 largest public U.S.
companies on a range of factors, including fair pay, upholding
human rights across the supply chain, investing in worker training,
acting ethically and with integrity, cultivating a diverse and
inclusive workplace, and providing good benefits and work-life
balance. By striving to meet the needs of all stakeholders, JUST
100 leaders demonstrate that profits and purpose can go hand in
hand.
"The JUST 100 companies demonstrate what good looks like in
delivering value to all stakeholders – employees, customers,
communities, as well as shareholders," said Forbes Chief Content
Officer Randall Lane. "These companies are leading the way in
building long-term value."
"We are humbled by the continued leadership recognition of
Keysight's commitment to building a better planet through its
corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts," said Hamish Gray,
senior vice president and executive sponsor of Keysight's CSR
program. "These, and other recent recognitions, highlight the
company’s accomplishments in positively impacting the global
community through our business framework of ethical,
environmentally sustainable and socially responsible
operations."

100 results, Keysight's recent recognitions and awards from the
