NiSource Inc. (NYSE: NI), one of the largest fully-regulated
utilities in the United States, has been named to the 2024 Dow
Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), marking the 11th consecutive
year the company has earned the recognition. The DJSI are
float-adjusted market capitalization weighted indices that measure
the performance of companies using environmental, social and
governance (ESG) criteria.
“Receiving this recognition for an 11th straight year is a
testament to our longstanding resolve to be accountable
environmental stewards whose mission is to deliver safe, reliable
energy that drives value to our customers,” said Melody Birmingham,
NiSource’s Executive Vice President and Group President for
Utilities. “As a company, our business strategy extends beyond
delivering energy. It also purposefully includes an ESG framework
that allows NiSource to help drive economic development and
inclusion opportunities in the communities we serve.”
The DJSI, including the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index,
were launched in 1999 as the pioneering series of global
sustainability benchmarks available in the market. The index family
is comprised of global, regional and country benchmarks. The DJSI
highlights companies that fulfill sustainability criteria best
within their industry.
DJSI compares peer companies on items measuring performance and
management of ESG risks, opportunities and impacts. Company
disclosures, media and stakeholder analysis, and modeling
approaches are also taken into consideration. NiSource scored above
the industry mean in all three ESG categories and specifically
outpaced others in key areas such as waste and water management,
climate strategy, business ethics and occupational health and
safety.
“Sustainability matters to our customers, employees, investors
and the communities we serve,” said Kristi Jones, NiSource’s Vice
President of Public Affairs and Sustainability. “While we’re proud
to be included on the DJSI, we know that there are exciting,
innovative opportunities ahead for us to do even more as a company
to help firmly establish a bright and sustainable future for the
environment and our stakeholders.”
