VMware ranked in the 97th percentile in the Software &
Services Industry category for its leadership in ESG and was ranked
among the top six software companies in the indices.1
“ESG is at the heart of everything we do at VMware, and we hold
ourselves accountable to our 2030 Agenda goals through transparent
reporting on our progress,” said Nicola Acutt, vice president of
ESG at VMware. “Being recognized—especially for the second year in
a row—is a significant achievement, and we couldn’t be prouder of
the results we’re starting to see. This reflects the work our teams
drive every day and is an indicator of our commitment to ESG across
the company as it involves numerous stakeholders, practices and
policies.”
The DJSI are float-adjusted market capitalization weighted
indices comprised of global, regional and country benchmarks that
measure the performance of companies selected using ESG criteria.
The Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) and Dow Jones
Sustainability North America Index (DJSI North America) apply a
transparent, rules-based constituent selection process based on the
companies’ S&P Global ESG Score resulting from the annual
S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). The CSA
consists of a rigorous questionnaire assessing both public and
non-public data submitted by participating companies. This year,
more than 10,000 publicly traded companies were invited to
participate in the S&P Global CSA.
VMware achieved high scores in key areas of business conduct,
including information security, cybersecurity, human rights, labor
practices, environmental reporting as well as corporate citizenship
and philanthropy, among others.
“We congratulate VMware for being included in the DJSI World and
DJSI North America,” said Manjit Jus, global head of ESG Research,
S&P Global. “A DJSI distinction is a reflection of being a
sustainability leader in your industry. The record number of
companies participating in the 2021 S&P Global Corporate
Sustainability Assessment is testament to the growing movement for
ESG disclosure and transparency.”
VMware’s 2030 Agenda is a decade-long ESG commitment and call to
action to foster a more sustainable, equitable and secure world. We
are building a future in which our technology will make a positive
impact on all our stakeholders: employees, customers, suppliers,
shareholders, communities and our planet. Learn more about ESG at
