A number of US and European nuclear power utilities have been included in the latest review of the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World), one of the leading international benchmarks for corporate contribution to sustainable development.

The index, launched in 1999, comprises more than 300 companies that represent the top 10% of the leading sustainability companies out of the biggest 2500 companies in the Dow Jones Global Total Stock Market Index. In order to be chosen, companies must regularly demonstrate, through on-going contact with analysts and by filling out an annual questionnaire, that they are putting first-rate sustainability measures into practice. The DJSI World - compiled and published by Dow Jones Indexes and Sustainable Asset Management (SAM) of Switzerland - is reviewed annually.
