2024 Dow Jones Sustainability Index released
S&P Dow Jones Announces Results of the 2024 Dow Jones Sustainability Indices Annual Review
S&P Dow Jones Indices (S&P DJI) announced the results of the 2024 Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) annual review on December 23, 2024. The DJSI are free-float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted indices that consist of companies selected based on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria.
The DJSI series includes the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) and various regional market indices. Taiwanese companies are typically included in the DJSI World and the DJSI Emerging Markets Index. The DJSI World, launched in 1999, is one of the first global sustainability benchmark index series. It spans global, regional, and country-level benchmarks. Based on this year’s review, the following companies ranked by free-float market capitalization are the top three additions or removals to the DJSI World Index. All changes will take effect on Monday, December 23, 2024.
This year, 34 publicly listed Taiwanese companies were selected for the DJSI World Index, including first-time entries such as China Steel Corporation, Taiwan Cement, Acer, AUO, and Wistron.
Additionally, 37 companies were included in the DJSI Emerging Markets Index, with 11 being first-time entries: PharmaEssentia, Chang Hwa Commercial Bank, Far Eastern New Century, HIWIN Technologies, Giant Group, China Steel Corporation, Taiwan Cement, AUO, Wistron, Arcadyan Technology, and EVA Airways.
The Importance and Significance of Inclusion in Sustainability Indices
Sustainability indices, such as the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), select companies based on their ESG performance. Inclusion in these indices signifies international recognition of a company’s sustainability efforts. This not only attracts investment funds but also enhances investor confidence. Companies included in sustainability indices are often seen as leaders in their industries, boosting their brand value and market reputation.
Meeting the stringent requirements of sustainability indices drives companies to continuously improve in areas such as environmental protection, social responsibility, and corporate governance. This process fosters internal improvements and innovation, ultimately increasing brand value and competitiveness.
With the growing global emphasis on sustainability, including regulations on carbon emissions, supply chain management, and social responsibility, inclusion in a sustainability index reflects a company’s forward-thinking strategies in policy compliance and market adaptability. This positions them to seize more opportunities for future growth.
