Each year, more than 7,000 companies around the world are assessed on the economic / governance, environmental and social dimensions by focusing on criteria that are both industry specific and materially financially. The DJSI rating methodology has gradually become strict over the past few years, especially for industries with high ESG impact like steel, mining, etc.
