Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes Family
The family of Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes encompasses a series of global and European indexes. Both series consist of one composite and several specialised sustainability indexes.

The Dow Jones Sustainability World Indexes:
The Dow Jones Sustainability World Indexes (DJSI World) track the performance of the global sustainability leaders. The top 10% of the 2,500 largest companies in the Dow Jones Global Indexes are selected as components of DJSI World. This global benchmark is also available exclusive of tobacco, alcohol, gambling, armaments and/or firearms:

  • Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World)
  • Dow Jones Sustainability World Index ex Alcohol (DJSI World ex Alcohol)
  • Dow Jones Sustainability World Index ex Tobacco (DJSI World ex Tobacco)
  • Dow Jones Sustainability World Index ex Gambling (DJSI World ex Gambling)
  • Dow Jones Sustainability World Index ex Armaments and Firearms (DJSI World ex Armaments and Firearms)
  • Dow Jones Sustainability World Index ex Alcohol, Tobacco, Gambling,
    Armaments and Firearms (DJSI World ex All)

The Dow Jones STOXX Sustainability Indexes:
The Dow Jones STOXX Sustainability Indexes (DJSI STOXX) track the European sustainability leaders. The best 20% in the Dow Jones STOXXSM 600 Index are selected as components of DJSI STOXX. A regional index calculated from this benchmark is also available for the sustainability leaders in the Eurozone. Both indexes are also available exclusive of tobacco, alcohol, gambling, armaments and firearms.

  • Dow Jones STOXX Sustainability Index (DJSI STOXX)
  • Dow Jones STOXX Sustainability Index ex Alcohol, Tobacco, Gambling,
    Armaments and Firearms (DJSI STOXX ex All)
  • Dow Jones EURO STOXX Sustainability Index (DJSI EURO STOXX)
  • Dow Jones EURO STOXX Sustainability Index ex Alcohol, Tobacco, Gambling,
    Armaments and Firearms (DJSI EURO STOXX ex All)

Both series of DJSI Indexes are calculated as price and total return indexes in euro and US dollars, making a total of 40 indexes. All the DJSI Indexes can be converted into any other currency on request. The weightings of the individual shares are based on the market capitalisation of their free float. The value of DJSI World in US dollars and the euro value of DJSI STOXX, DJSI EURO STOXX, DJSI STOXX ex All and DJSI EURO STOXX are calculated and published in real time. The values of the other indexes are calculated and published at the end of each trading day.
