S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA)

The S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) is an annual evaluation of companies’ sustainability practices relative to industry peers, focusing on criteria that are both industry specific and financially material. The CSA provides internal and external stakeholders with important insights into a company’s sustainability performance and value drivers. The CSA was established in 1999 and acquired by S&P Global in 2019.

For the 2022 cycle of the CSA, the CSA scored more than 11,500 companies. Approximately 2,500 of these companies completed the CSA, an increase from approximately 1,300 in 2021.
The CSA compares companies across 61 industries via questionnaires assessing a mix of 80–100 cross-industry and industry-specific questions
Companies are selected for inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), S&P 500 ESG, and several other sustainability indices in part based on their results in the S&P Global CSA

S&P Global ESG Scores: Calculated by the CSA

S&P Global ESG Scores are uniquely informed by a combination of verified company disclosures, media and stakeholder analysis, and in-depth company engagement via the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA).
