Inclusion in the DJSI indices is based on the annual evaluation of the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (S&P Global CSA). This year, more than 13,000 companies were invited to take part in the assessment. The DJSI World comprises a total of 321 companies worldwide, 41 of which were newly included this year.

GEA improved its score in the S&P Global CSA by six points, achieving 75 out of 100 points in 2023 compared to 69 points in the previous year. Full points were achieved in the categories "Business Ethics", "Resource Efficiency and Circularity" and "Water”. Very good results were also achieved in the categories "Climate Strategy", "Customer Relationship Management" and "Information Security/Cybersecurity & System Availability".

"Just one year after being included in DJSI Europe, we have already made the leap into DJSI World. We had set ourselves this target for 2026 and to achieve it three years earlier makes me very proud," says CEO Stefan Klebert. "It is a remarkable recognition of the progress we have made in our sustainability efforts. I would like to thank the teams for their tireless efforts and continuous drive to improve."
