The DJSI family of indices is operated by one of the world's leading index providers S&P Dow Jones. The Emerging Markets Index for the year comprises of 108 companies from 12 emerging economies, including China, Brazil, South Africa and Taiwan.

The DJSI follows a best-in-class approach, assessing sustainability leaders from each sector on a global and regional level. The selection process included the world's largest ~4000 listed companies, which underwent a rigorous assessment on Economic & Governance, Social & Environmental parameters such as corporate governance, ethics, risk management, climate change mitigation, stakeholder engagement, access to medicine, quality, corporate social responsibility and human resource practices.

As of November 12, 2021, Cipla performed in the top decile in the pharmaceutical Industry in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment, with a ranking of 93 percentile in the industry, meaning 93% of companies reached an equal or lower ESG Score.
