The Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) rank companies in 61 industries, scoring them based on their responses to questionnaires called the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment.
The indices serve as benchmarks for investors who "integrate sustainability considerations into their portfolios," according to the S&P Global website. They are designed to serve as an "effective engagement platform for investors who wish to encourage companies to improve their corporate sustainability practices."
