“We congratulate ConocoPhillips for achieving a place in The Sustainability Yearbook 2021. With over 7,000 
companies assessed, an inclusion in the yearbook is a true statement of corporate sustainability excellence,” Manjit Jus, Global Head of ESG Research, S&P Global.
DJSI benchmarks sustainable best practices for investors, tracking performance by the world's leading companies in terms of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors. Company scores are based on management of ESG issues including corporate governance, risk management, branding and reputation, climate change mitigation, supply chain standards and labor practices. Our overall score earns us a place on the North American Index for the fourteenth consecutive year.

DJSI raises the bar for performance annually so to be included in the yearbook is a notable accomplishment reflecting a lot of hard work by our businesses and functions,” said ConocoPhillips Vice President of Sustainable Development Lloyd Visser.
