Our DJSI Services

CSRWorks offers a suite of advisory and training services to support the participating companies throughout their DJSI journey. We work closely with our clients to improve their score and the underlying performance.

Our DJSI services are available in a modular structure allowing your clients the freedom to choose what they need. Here is an overview of our DJSI modules:

ANALYSE: Our DJSI experts will analyse your latest score as well as the last submission to identify areas for improvement. Based on the analysis, we will prepare a DJSI roadmap for the next assessment cycle highlighting the gaps and recommendations.

IMPLEMENT: We will assist you in addressing the gaps discovered in the ANALYSE phase to improve your score.

COMPLETE: Our experts will complete and upload the responses to the CSA Questionnaire. We will prepare the first draft of responses and engage with the relevant internal stakeholders to seek additional information to enhance the quality of answers. We will advise on collecting the necessary data and information to meet the assessment criteria. Finally, we will assist in uploading the responses to the DJSI’s online platform.

CHECK: When you prepare the answers to the CSA Questionnaire in-house, we can help you by checking the draft responses to provide recommendations for improvement before you submit the responses on the DJSI online platform.

TRAINING: We will develop and deliver in-house training workshops customised to your organisation to help your teams understand the CSA criteria including the assessment questions and data and information needs.
