NYK included in DJSI for 11th consecutive year

On September 12, NYK was selected for the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes (DJSI)* for an 11th straight year. And NYK will be included in DJSI World for 2013/2014. The DJSI is a major yardstick for those engaging in socially responsible investment (SRI),** investments in companies whose CSR activities are considered to be upstanding, the Company said in a press release.
 
The DJSI recognition is based on an in-depth analysis of economic, environmental, and social criteria, such as corporate governance, water-related risks, and stakeholder relations.
 
This year, over 3,000 companies, including about 300 Japanese companies, participated in the selection process, and 333 of those companies, comprising 21 Japanese companies, were eventually selected to be a part of the World Index.
 
Like the FTSE4Good Index, which also includes NYK, the DJSI includes only companies that have gone through a rigid evaluative process, which is an important selection standard for investors who take an interest in corporate socially responsibility and sustainability.
 
NYK, as a good corporate citizen, will continue to take an active role in social issues, including the conservation of the environment, to contribute to the achievement of a better global society.
