| In cooperation with Dow Jones Indexes and STOXX Limited, SAM
Group publishes and licenses the Dow Jones Sustainability World
Indexes (DJSI), a series of global sustainability benchmarks launched
in September 1999. The combination of the know-how of the world's
leading index providers, Dow Jones & Company and STOXX Limited,
with SAM's many years of sustainability expertise has resulted
in a family of indexes that provides a growing number of asset
managers with objective and professional benchmarks for sustainability
investments. The indexes are based on SAM's corporate sustainability
assessment, which identifies global sustainability leaders on
the basis of economic, environmental and social criteria. The DJSI are also used as a basis for the Dow Jones Islamic Market Sustainability Index.
SAM's research is also the basis for the Australian SAM Sustainability
Index (AuSSI) launched in 2005. The index is published in cooperation
with the Environment Protection Authority Victora and a leading
national newspaper, The Australian, and provides a solid benchmark
for sustainability-driven investments into Australian companies.
