2009 marked the eighth year in a row in
which bnP Paribas was included in both
the dow jones sustainability indices: the
djsi world and djsi stoxx. in 2009, it was
the only french bank to have been included
in both these internationally
renowned indices without interruption
since 2002.
the companies included in the djsi
indices are selected by means of an
annual survey. in 2009, the banking
sector survey comprised 94 questions
on topics of economic, environmental,
and social concern. sustainable asset
management inc. (sam), a ratings
agency, identifies the top companies
in each sector based on their replies.
out of 2,500 companies rated, only 250
actually make it into the djsi world index.
in the banking sector, bnP Paribas
was one of only 11 european banks included
in the djsi stoxx index.
in 2009 bnP Paribas came in significantly
higher than the sector average in almost
all segments of the survey, with an overall
score of 73 out of 100 compared with
a sector average of 51. the group’s
