The Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes were announced by SAM, which was established in Zurich in 1995 as the first investment group focused exclusively on the integration of economic, environmental and social criteria into investing. In 1999, SAM teamed up with Dow Jones Indexes to launch the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes (DJSI) – the first benchmarks to thoroughly analyze a company’s sustainability criteria and impact. The indexes are used by asset managers and investors to manage a variety of financial products and sustainability-driven portfolios.
