IT major Wipro today said it has been selected as a member of the global Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) - 2015 for the sixth year in a row.
It is included in both the DJSI World and Emerging Markets Indices, Wipro said in a statement.
A total of 1,845 companies across sectors were assessed from around the world, of which 317 have been chosen as the DJSI World constituents for the year 2015-16, it added.
The IT services sector saw 76 companies participating globally, of which eight have been selected for the World Index, the statement said.
DJSI is a leading global indicator tracking the financial performance of companies across all industries that outperform on sustainability.
The selection was done on the basis of an exhaustive, rigorous evaluation of Wipro's sustainability performance on several dimensions spanning economic, environment and social sustainability such as climate change performance, corporate governance, innovation, labour practices and digital inclusion, Wipro said.
