What is the Dow Jones Sustainability Index?

The DJSI is a global index which tracks the financial performance of leading sustainability-driven companies. It is based on an analysis of financially material economic, environmental and social factors and is reviewed annually by the S&P Dow Jones Index Committee and RobecoSAM, a specialist sustainability investment company. Companies are only listed in the annual ranking if they are best in class within their industry for sustainability.

A perfect foundation for our new sustainability journey

We are listed under the name of our newly merged business, Coca-Cola European Partners, and this gives us a strong foundation from which to build into the future.

“This important milestone signals that we are on the right path as we drive our sustainability journey while creating value for our business and customers. We will continue to engage with all of our stakeholders to push ourselves forward and build on our progress in well-being, energy and climate, water stewardship, sustainable packaging and sustainable sourcing,” said John F.
