About S&P Global's Sustainability Yearbook
S&P Global annually evaluates the sustainability efforts of leading companies by scoring them on corporate sustainability assessment (CSA) criteria, which measures governance & economic, environmental, and social dimensions. Distinctions are calculated against the top performing company in each industry, and exclusions are applied thereafter. S&P Global then selects the top 1%, 5% and 10% of the top-rated companies in each industry for inclusion in the Sustainability Yearbook. For the 2024 edition, more than 9,400 companies worldwide from 62 industries were evaluated, of which 759 companies were selected.
Masato Ikeda, SoftBank's CSR Division Head and ESG Planning & Management Senior Director, commented, "ESG is SoftBank's compass for growth. It's a great honor to be evaluated in this way as a means of measuring our progress. Driven by our vision to be 'the Corporate Group needed most by people around the world,' we will continue to strengthen our sustainability initiatives by further integrating ESG with management."
