Advantest Selected for the First Time for DJSI Asia Pacific
The Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) are composed of companies selected for their excellent sustainability performance on both general and industry-specific criteria. Since their launch in 1999, the DJSI has been recognized worldwide as an important indicator of corporate sustainability performance. 156 companies from the Asia Pacific region were selected for DJSI Asia Pacific in 2022, including 74 Japanese companies, one of which is Advantest.
The selection highlights Advantest’s commitment to sustainability in the form of an ESG Basic Policy established to promote company-wide ESG initiatives, and the ESG Action Plan 2021-2023 that guides implementation of the policy. Under the Plan, Advantest set 27 goals and KPIs based on priority themes such as climate change, employee engagement, and reinforcement of Board of Directors effectiveness.
