Dow Jones Sustainability Index
Eaton participates in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI), one of the world’s leading indicators for corporate responsibility. The DJSI defines Corporate Sustainability as “a business approach that creates long-term shareholder value by embracing opportunities and managing risks deriving from economic, environmental and social developments.”
The DJSI is unique in that companies are “accepted” or “rejected” as members based on their scores, half of which are determined by a questionnaire, and half by a Dow Jones analysis of publicly accessible documents and databases. Each year, the DJSI uses the firm SAM Research AG to identify the world’s sustainability leaders. A major source of information is the SAM questionnaire which is completed by companies participating in the annual review. Further sources include company and third-party documents as well as personal contacts between the analysts and companies. Based on SAM Research's corporate sustainability assessment, companies are ranked within their industry group and selected for the various Sustainability Indices, but only if they are among the sustainability leaders in their field.
In 2010, Eaton was one of six companies on the DJSI list of sustainable leaders in the “Diversified Industrial” sector. The DJI Sustainability Yearbook contains sustainability insights into 58 sectors. The top performers in each sector qualify as “SAM Sector Leaders.”
