The Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes are the first global indexes to track the  
financial performance of leading sustainability-driven companies. Companies are 
included in or deleted from the indexes based on their economic, environmental  
and social performance. The indexes provide investors with reliable and         
objective benchmarks to manage their sustainability portfolios.
