MUMBAI (India CSR): Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. (M&M Ltd.), one of India’s leading automotive companies, today announced that it has become the only car manufacturer in the world to achieve a top 1 percent Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) ranking in S&P Global’s prestigious 2025 Sustainability Yearbook.
Recognition in the 2025 Sustainability Yearbook
The 2025 Sustainability Yearbook ranks the top sustainability performers across various sectors based on S&P Global’s annual CSA. This year’s yearbook analysed over 7,690 companies globally, with only 780 earning a place in the exclusive publication. M&M’s inclusion in the top 1% reflects its outstanding performance and dedication to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles and underscores the company’s commitment to sustainability leadership.
Leadership in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI)
Moreover, very recently, the company has achieved leadership status in the DJSI (Dow Jones Sustainability Index) World Index for 2024 within the ‘auto sector’ as part of the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). Mahindra’s score this year is 82/100, indicating a 12-point jump from last year, and it marks the 4th consecutive year of being part of the DJSI World Index. This achievement makes M&M the first and only Indian company to attain the DJSI world leader status within the automobiles industry, while being ranked 2nd in the Automobile & Component Industry combined globally.

As the only automobile company in the Top 1% of the Sustainability Yearbook, we are setting a new benchmark for the industry and demonstrating that sustainable practices are integral to long-term success.”
Consistent Performance in ESG Rankings
Mahindra’s placing in the S&P Global CSA rankings follows the company’s placing as a ‘World Leader’ in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index last month. It also builds on the recognition it earned in last year’s S&P Global CSA rankings where it scored 82 points.
