Sony’s leadership in the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) space has been recognized around the world, having accelerated its drive for social and environmental change. The company’s increased awareness of its global role prompted it to adopt and adapt to transformation in the ESG space while addressing social responsibility and balancing shareholder value. S&P Global’s leadership in ESG dates back over 20 years with the launch of the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index in 1999. Since then, S&P Global has significantly expanded its ESG and climate solutions including acquisitions of Trucost and SAM (formally RobeccoSAM) to complement their robust ESG offerings across benchmarks, data, analytics and research.
