EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) today announced it has been named for the 5th consecutive year to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) North America as a result of its corporate sustainability leadership in the technology industry.
The Dow Jones Sustainability Indices are maintained collaboratively by S&P Dow Jones Indices, one of the world's leading providers of financial market indices, and RobecoSAM, the investment specialist focused exclusively on Sustainability Investing. The indices measure the performance of the world's sustainability leaders. RobecoSAM invites more than 3,400 publicly traded companies, including 800 companies in emerging markets, to report annually on their sustainability practices. Companies are selected based on a comprehensive assessment of long-term economic, environmental and social criteria with a strong focus on long-term shareholder value that account for general as well as industry-specific sustainability trends. Only firms that lead their industries based on this assessment are included in the indices. The indices are created and maintained according to a systematic methodology, allowing investors to appropriately benchmark sustainability-driven funds and derivatives over the long term.
