Third-party Evaluation and Share Price Changes

The Dentsu Group actively engages in environmental preservation and other corporate sustainability activities. Receiving high recognition for such activities, Dentsu received a score of 94C from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) in 2016.
Moreover, in recent years, socially responsible investment,*¹ which takes into account not only financial aspects such as corporate revenue and growth prospects, but also ethics, legal compliance, efforts to tackle environmental, and other issues has been gaining attention in investment trust management.

Dentsu’s CSR efforts received high recognition from SRI rating agencies as well, being included in the MSCI Global Sustainability Indexes*² in June 2015. In September 2016, Dentsu was selected for inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Asia Pacific Index (DJSI Asia Pacific), the Asia Pacific version of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI)*³.
Dentsu was also selected as a finalist in the Asia Sustainability Reporting Awards (ASURA) for the previous year’s integrated report.

*1 Socially responsible investment is an investment method that aims for stable revenue by evaluating and selecting companies based on social, ethical, and environmental aspects, such as legal compliance, employment relations, human rights issues, consumer protection, and contribution to society and community, in addition to conventional investment criteria based on financial analysis.
*2 An index developed by Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) in the United States that selects companies that are particularly outstanding in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) assessments.
*3 DJSI is a stock index developed jointly by S&P Dow Jones Indices, a U.S. company that provides global financial market indices, and RobecoSAM, a Swiss company that conducts research and rates companies in relation to socially responsible investing. In addition to conventional financial analysis, this index measures broader corporate sustainability based on companies’ social and environmental initiatives, selecting companies that are excellent overall. DJSI Asia Pacific targets approximately 600 leading companies in the Asia Pacific region. In fiscal 2016, 146 companies (68 of them from Japan) were selected for inclusion.
