DIC Corporation announced that it had been selected for inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) Asia Pacific Index, part of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices, a global family of indices for socially responsible investment (SRI).
The DJSI Asia Pacific Index is a leading benchmark for sustainability initiatives in the Asia–Pacific region and a prominent environment, society and governance (ESG) investment indicator. This is the second consecutive year DIC has been selected for inclusion.
In 2016, the index assessed the performance of 600 companies in the Asia–Pacific region from the perspective of economic, environmental and social performance, selecting 146 for inclusion, of which 14 were from materials industries (seven from the chemicals sector).
DIC’s scores for all three dimensions were up from 2015, with its responses in the Innovation Management section of the Economic Dimension and the Environmental Reporting section of the Environmental Dimension earning particularly high marks.
