The S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) provides CSA Scores, which are among the key factors considered for determining eligibility of companies for potential inclusion in the S&P Dow Jones Indices’ iconic Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), as well as other ESG Indices including the S&P 500 ESG and the S&P Global 1200 ESG Indices. Over 13,000 companies are invited to participate in the CSA every year, but only about 3,500 of the largest companies globally are eligible for inclusion in any DJSI. Learn more about DJSI Eligibility and participation in the CSA.

The CSA applies a best-in-class approach for each of the 62 industries that are covered through detailed assessments that contain a mix of cross-industry and industry-specific questions.

Companies that participate in the CSA can use the results to benchmark their sustainability performance against industry peers, as well as leverage S&P Global platforms to get their additional ESG disclosure in front of key capital market decision makers.

2024 saw another strong response from companies who recognized the value of disclosing their sustainability performance to capital markets by participating in the CSA. Participation in the 2024 CSA is still ongoing and will end in January 2025.

CSA Scores, dated November 22, 2024 (Score Cut-off Date), were submitted by S&P Global Sustainable1 to S&P Dow Jones Indices for consideration in the DJSI rebalancing on December 13, 2024 and effective on December 23, 2024.

Companies assessed through the CSA, and invited for DJSI, can access the 2024 DJSI membership information for their company in the CSA Portal on December 16, 2024. 

S&P Global Sustainable1 conducts and manages the CSA independently from S&P Dow Jones Indices, a global index provider and an independent affiliate of S&P Global.
