The corporate sustainability assessment
Communications Toolkit
We encourage all companies included in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2026 to prepare communication materials on their achievement.
Yearbook members are selected based on their score from the S&P Global 2025 Corporate Sustainability Assessment, or CSA Score. To be listed in the Yearbook, companies must score within the top 15% of their industry and must achieve a CSA Score within 30% of their industry’s top-performing company. This year over 8,551 companies assessed in the 2025 CSA were considered for the 2026 Sustainability Yearbook. Only some 800 companies, across 59 industries, were among the top performing companies selected for Yearbook inclusion this year.
