Taking into account the global success and impact of the DJSI, and increasing discussions among workplace health experts about the need for standardized, public metrics reporting of health and safety data, ACOEM and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) have partnered to create a consistent, replicable, public metrics reporting system similar to DJSI, making it possible for investors to assess the business value of health and safety. The Integrated Health and Safety Index allows employers to measure their performance in three key dimensions of sustainability modeled by the DJSI: economic, social and environmental.
