The evaluation system covers 23 core themes across 62 industries, collecting over a thousand data points through customized questionnaires and quantifying corporate sustainability capabilities through an "Economic-Environmental-Social" three-dimensional framework. Its core strength lies in its dual materiality perspective—focusing on key issues affecting corporate financial performance while addressing industry-specific sustainability challenges. Assessment results serve directly as selection criteria for authoritative indices such as the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI), supporting investment decisions for over $38.4 trillion in global assets. Notably, CSA ensures scoring objectivity through multiple verification mechanisms including media monitoring and management interviews, making it an "international passport" for measuring corporate ESG performance.
