2017 Changes to DJSI's Corporate Sustainability Assessment

The Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) opened yesterday (March 30th) and as in previous years, RobecoSAM has modified portions of the CSA to better align with performance outcomes and recent industry trends. For those not familiar, the CSA is the survey conducted annually by the Switzerland-based RobecoSAM, an investment agency specializing in sustainable investing. The first CSA was conducted in 1999 and is now considered the most robust and reputable gauge of sustainability performance. Over the past month, RobecoSAM has released details on the changes to this year's CSA and I endeavor to summarize them in this post.
