Beyond DJSI: S&P Global Aquires SAM CSA

Beyond DJSI: S&P Global Acquires SAM CSA

Following S&P Global’s acquisition of the ESG Ratings Business from RobecoSAM and the 20th Anniversary of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI), there has never been a more relevant time for corporate issuers to respond to the SAM Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA).  S&P Global is uniquely positioned in the financial markets as a provider of indices, ratings and data. S&P Global expects to include the CSA scores in its existing and future product offerings.  The CSA, which has recently been named as the leading ESG rating*, has already become the basis for numerous S&P ESG Indices (including the highly recognized DJSI) and we expect to integrate CSA data into our S&P Global Ratings ESG Evaluation.
