How come there is a difference between the European components of the DJSI World and the components of the DJSI STOXX?
While the DJSI World selects the global sustainability leaders, the DJSI STOXX is built on a comparison of European companies. Thus, it may happen that a company is among Europe’s sustainability leaders, but ranks behind its non-European competitors. In that case, the company would be a component in the DJSI STOXX, but not in the DJSI World. Vice versa, a company might be among the top 10% in the bigger global universe, but not make it into the top 20% of the smaller European universe. It would then figure among the DJSI World members, but not in the DJSI STOXX.
