S&P DJI makes it possible to make a sustainable difference. For over two decades, our indices have brought transparency to ESG and helped transform sustainability from a peripheral consideration into an important aspect of corporate evaluation. Our indices—including those based on the iconic S&P 500—incorporate world-renowned datasets from the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment and S&P Global Trucost Data & Analytics, which help mitigate physical, climate, social and governance risks.

Offering market participants flexible ways to align with the objectives of the Paris Agreement and incorporate other global and regional standards, our index solutions range from broad-market ESG, net zero, and low-carbon climate approaches across asset classes to thematic strategies, including those targeting hydrogen and clean energy.

The Data Behind the Indices

Our indices are backed by world-renowned ESG data and analytics.

S&P Global ESG Scores

S&P Global ESG Scores are the data foundation powering the globally recognized Dow Jones Sustainability Indices, S&P 500 ESG Index, and others in the S&P ESG Index Series. Unlike ESG datasets that rely simply on publicly available information, S&P Global ESG Scores are uniquely informed by a combination of verified company disclosures, media and stakeholder analysis, and in-depth company engagement via the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), providing unparalleled access to ESG insights before they reach others.

Companies collectively contribute hundreds of thousands of hours in every assessment cycle, while S&P Global analysts validate disclosures for both accuracy and relevance, discuss methodologies and measurement best-practices, and provide ongoing feedback. Unlike any other ESG dataset available in the market today, S&P Global ESG Scores – and the CSA research process that underpins them – form the basis of a unique ecosystem that actively drives corporate disclosures and raises the bar on sustainability standards over time.
