TCS makes it to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index

A great news for India Inc, TCS and Tata Group.


TCS has made it to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index released in September 2008. TCS is one of the only two companies from India to form a part of the list. The other company from India to become a part of the Index is also a Tata Group Company – Tata Steel.

The Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) was established to track the performance of companies that lead the field in terms of corporate sustainability. The index was started in 1999, and is maintained by Dow Jones in conjunction with SAM Group, a Zurich-based research firm that conducts detailed sustainability analyses of thousands of global market-cap leaders each year. Each company represented in the index has its corporate sustainability assessed through an intricate weighting system that looks at economic, environmental and social metrics, as well as industry-specific criteria.


Just at right time when we are preparing for SAM presentation, we have got a great news. Isn't it a good news to share while presenting the SAM in our class?

Just checked in 2009 Report on DJSI World Component Report, TCS Name is not present..

I guess it was included in 2008, But not sure why it was removed in 2009.

I am a TCS employee, so a bit concerned why ? Are you aware.
