DJSI is a globally authoritative evaluation index that measures sustainability by comprehensively assessing economic, social, and environmental aspects such as governance, supply chain management, environmental performance, and human resource development of over 2,500 global companies worldwide every year since 1999 by S&P Global, the world's largest financial information provider.

This index is widely used as a standard to evaluate corporate sustainability by comprehensively considering the economic and ESG performance of global companies.

In 2023, out of the top 2,544 companies by market capitalization worldwide, a total of 320 were included as World companies, among which only two refining companies, S-OIL and Neste Oil (Finland), were included.
