The Dow Jones Sustainability World Index includes over 300 companies from 34
countries. It tracks the performance of the leading sustainability-driven
companies worldwide through a thorough assessment of companies' economic,
environmental and social performance and accounts for more than 50 general as
well as industry-specific criteria in each sector.
Mr. Jan Zuidam, vice-chairman of DSM's Managing Board, explains: “Our
inclusion amongst the leaders reflects our ambition to be a leader in the
field of sustainability, which is an important element of our strategy Vision
2010. Our theme for the coming years will be sustainable innovations:
manufacturing and selling sustainable products in the value chain. Products
that create energy efficiency and reductions of greenhouse gas emissions,
water consumption and/or waste for our customers. We will keep on working on
our performance and reporting, because we firmly believe that the need for
sustainable entrepreneurship is beyond debate.”
Sustainability has always been at the heart of the way DSM Nutritional
Products does business. Our focus is enshrined in our three Business
Principles: Respect for People, Good Corporate Citizenship and Valuable
Partnerships. The same balance is at the hearth of our Triple P Report, the
annual account of our endeavors to harmonize the requirements of People,
Planet and Profit.
