The DJSI are float-adjusted market capitalization weighted indices that measure the performance of companies selected using ESG criteria. The DJSI World applies a transparent, rules-based constituent selection process based on the companies’ S&P Global ESG Score resulting from the annual S&P Global CSA.

Manjit Jus, Global Head of ESG Research, S&P Global: "We congratulate Delta Electronics (Thailand) PCL. for being included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for DJSI World and DJSI Emerging Markets.
