7 Assessment Key Insights 2005 Sustainability is continuing its move from corporate strategy and operations into product and service offerings. Advanced integration of eco-design requirements in the electronics industry, increasing implementation of environmental criteria in project financing and a wider use of life cycle analysis in the chemical industry are examples of this trend. Companies are converging in first generation sustainability themes such as corporate governance and environmental reporting. Corporate focus and the differentiation between leaders and laggards is shifting towards sector-specific issues such as healthy nutrition in the food industry, business opportunities for consumer goods in emerging markets, as well as anti-crime prevention in the financial sector. Transparency and accountability along the whole supply chain are increasingly visible through policies and control mechanisms. Key aspects in that context include the definition of environmental and social supplier standards as well as auditing procedures. Industry groups such as the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) are adding further impetus to this development. 8
8 Assessment Key Insights 2005 (cont d) Sustainability indicators are increasingly linked to financial value drivers and integrated into Annual Reports. New regulations, such as the UK Operating & Financial Review (OFR) standard, are important drivers behind this trend. Corporations widely recognize and acknowledge the importance of human capital management for their success. However, there is still considerable scope for improvements in all industries in measuring, controlling and reporting on issues such as talent attraction, organizational learning, and employee performance indicators. Overall, sustainability performance continues to advance across all sectors. At the same time, substantial room for progress in sustainability remains on the corporate agenda. 9
9 Assessment Universe 2005 Number of invited companies in 2005 (in 2004) DJSI World Universe = 2,500 companies DJSI STOXX Universe = 600 Invitations sent = 2,549 (2,550) Companies analysed globally = 1,073 (978) - North America: 438 (370) - Europe: 380 (359) - Japan: 125 (128) - Asia / Pacific ex Japan: 109 (100) - Latin America: 12 (11) - South Africa: 9 (10) Companies completing survey = 541 (522) Companies analysed based on public information only = 532 (456) PricewaterhouseCoopers assurance of research process and quality. 10
10 Assessment Criteria (I) The weighting scheme reflects the importance of industry-specific criteria % 33% 100% 40% 33% 60% 33% 20% Economic Dimension Environmental Dimension Social Dimension Total Industry Criteria General Criteria Please note that actual weightings differ amongst every industry group to reflect the sector s specific exposure to sustainability trends. The graph above is illustrative of the approximate weightings. 11
11 Assessment Criteria (II) Criteria are reviewed annually to ensure an accurate and up-to-date reflection of best-practice in corporate sustainability DJSI 2005 General Criteria (Examples) Corporate Governance Codes of Conduct Environmental and Social Reporting Human Capital Development Talent Attraction & Retention Stakeholder Engagement Changes compared to 2004 (Examples) Refined evaluation of executive/non-executive board composition and audit/non-audit related fees. Additional analysis of codes of conduct coverage with regard to employees, subsidiaries, joint ventures and suppliers. Expanded analysis to cover availability of position papers on public issues. Amended criteria to evaluate corporate processes for skill mapping and development. Changed to reflect latest development in empirical research related to Human Capital. Refined assessment scheme to assess corporate engagement with external stakeholders. Please note that a complete list of all general criteria including their weightings within the SAM assessment is available at (-> Assessment -> Criteria and Weightings). 12
12 Assessment Criteria (III) In addition to the refinement of the general assessment criteria, we have also reviewed and amended our set of industry-specific criteria DJSI 2005 Examples of industry specific criteria Climate Strategy (Utilities) Emerging Markets (Food & Beverage) Anti-crime prevention (Banks, Financial Services) New Aspects Assessed In light of the EU Emission Trading Scheme, which started early this year, SAM s analysis of climate strategies has been amended to cover the gap between CO2 allowances received and expected emissions. Entering and developing new markets which grow faster than home markets becomes crucial for companies operating in mature industries such as the food industry. SAM expanded its criteria in this sector to cover business strategies and recent results in emerging markets in terms of revenues, product portfolio and pricing. Crime prevention remains key in the financial industry. SAM has expanded its assessment of anti-crime policies and systems with a particular focus on customer due diligence and politically exposed persons (PEPs). 13
