Delta Electronics Thailand Joins Dow Jones Sustainability Index 2021
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 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).
S&P Dow Jones Indices, the world's leading index provider, conducts the CSA, which comprises a rigorous questionnaire assessing both public and non-public data submitted by participating companies. This year, over 10,000 publicly traded companies were invited to participate in the S&P Global CSA. Delta Thailand joins the DJSI index for the first time this year after two consecutive years of S&P Global Silver Class Awards.
