Yokogawa Electric Corporation has been selected for the first time as a component of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) World Index, one of the world's most renowned environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment indices. Yokogawa has also been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Asia Pacific Index for the fourth consecutive year.

 

The DJSI indices were created by S&P Dow Jones Indices, a US company that focuses on sustainability investing. These indices assess the business results of approximately 3,500 major companies around the world based on financial, environmental, and social criteria, and only those companies deemed to be making a significant contribution to the achievement of a sustainable society are selected. In 2020, 323 companies (including 39 Japanese companies) were selected for the DJSI World Index.
