BD Named to Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for Seventh Consecutive Year
|
BD has been selected as a component of the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) and the DJSI North America Index for the seventh year. The Dow Jones Sustainability Index assessment evaluates corporate economic, environmental, and social performance in order to create a benchmark that offers investors exposure to sustainability leaders in each sector. Inclusion in the DJSI World puts BD in the top 10 percent of companies in the healthcare sector assessed for sustainability leadership. BD was one of only 342 companies selected for the DJSI World for the 2012-2013 period. Each year, the 2,500 largest companies worldwide are invited to participate in the assessment. The Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes were launched in 1999 and are the first global indexes to track the financial performance of the leading sustainability-driven companies worldwide.
