NEW YORK and AMSTERDAM,
Nov. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- S&P
Dow Jones Indices ("S&P DJI"), the world's leading index
provider, today announced the results of the annual Dow
Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) rebalancing and
reconstitution. The DJSI are float-adjusted market capitalization
weighted indices that measure the performance of companies selected
using environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria.
The DJSI, including the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index
(DJSI World), were launched in 1999 as the pioneering series of
global sustainability benchmarks available in the market. The index
family is comprised of global, regional and country benchmarks.
As a result of this year's review, the following top three
largest companies based on free-float market capitalization have
been added to and deleted from the DJSI World. All changes are
effective on Monday, November 22,
2021.
Additions: Alphabet Inc, Medtronic plc, Gilead
Sciences Inc
Deletions: Nestlé S.A.1, TotalEnergies
SE2, Humana Inc3
The DJSI World applies a transparent, rules-based constituent
selection process based on the companies' S&P Global ESG Score
resulting from the annual S&P Global Corporate
Sustainability Assessment (CSA). The CSA consists of a rigorous
questionnaire assessing both public and non-public data submitted
by participating companies. This year, more than 10,000 publicly
traded companies were invited to participate in the S&P Global
CSA.
The full results and list of DJSI constituents are available at
https://www.spglobal.com/esg/csa/.
