The trend towards industry-specific sustainability management continues. Companies are getting increasingly educated about the specific sustainability risks and opportunities in their sector and continuously move beyond general aspects. Examples for this include waste-to-energy production of utility companies, digital inclusion in thecommunication technology industry, and closed-cycle bleaching in the paper industry.

Competition increases for sustainability leadership. As sustainability gains recognition, an increasing number of companies are competing for sector sustainability leadership and differences between leadingcompanies in most sectors are getting smaller.

Huge discrepancies exist between companies concerning their operational risk management. Only few companies report that they have established systems to quantify and visualize operational risks with tools such as risk maps, stress testing, sensitivity analysis, etc.

Leaders quantify the value of their brands. Companies care about their brands and invest heavily into brand management, but few report that they are actually able to quantify the values of their brands and the returns on their brand investments.

DJSI – Key Insights 2006 (I)

12

Climate change continues to attract increased attention. More companies recognize that climate change will have a major impact on their future operations and product offering. Leading energy firms include a climate change impact assessment in their M&A due diligence. The top financial institutions leverage their climate change know-how gained for internal assessments to market new products and services that gobeyond mere carbon emission trading (e.g. risk management systems, environmental impact assessments of potential investments, etc.)

More global firms tailor their product offerings to the specific needs of developing countries. Mobile communication technology providers offer low budget mobile phones or install phone booths in under-developed regions. Consumer goods manufacturers adjust their global offering in terms of product packaging, product sizing, pricing and contents (e.g. adding iodine to salt).

Overall, sustainability performance continues to advance across all sectors. At the same time, substantial room for progress in sustainability remains on the corporate agenda.
