The Dow Jones Sustainability Indices are published in collaboration with Robeco SAM. The SAM Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) is the longest running global sustainability benchmark and the key reference point in investing. In 2019, more than 3500 companies based on market capitalization were invited to the DJSI, marking the biggest increase in corporate participation in the SAM CSA.
RobecoSAM selects the most relevant criteria in each sustainability dimension – Economic, Environmental and Social – based on their weight in the assessment and their current or expected significance for the industry. UPM registered a four-point increase in its total score, from 85 to 89 and posted the industry best scores in all dimensions.
By focusing on areas such as raw materials, production, value creation and people and society, UPM ensures that this aspiration is present throughout the whole value chain.
