This engagement is a two-stage process beginning with a comprehensive gap analysis identifying opportunities to strategically improve your upcoming response to the CSA, and then supporting you through the annual CSA response period.
This questionnaire is well-known for assessing companies for inclusion on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI). The corporate responses are also being utilized by various S&P Global units for scoring and ranking, including the new S&P ESG ratings (provided on their CapitalIQ terminal for institutional investors); the new S&P ESG indices (S&P 500 ESG, S&P Global 1200 ESG); and for credit risk analysis, which may affect a company’s credit rating, access to capital, and cost of capital.
G&A has long maintained recurring clients’ inclusion on the DJSI, helping to continuously enhance their scores, while also supporting first-time CSA respondents who have then achieved inclusion on the DJSI for the first time.
