Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA)

The S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) leads the field in helping companies make the link between sustainability and their business strategies.

The CSA is S&P Global Sustainable1’s in-depth evaluation of corporate sustainability performance. Established in 1999, It builds on decades of experience to help companies measure, manage, and communicate how they perform on the issues that matter most to their business and stakeholders.

In practice, many companies use the CSA as more than an assessment. They describe it as a health check, a benchmarking tool, and a catalyst for action. By actively engaging in the CSA process, companies often accelerate momentum to create value from sustainability: linking sustainability to strategy, aligning teams, uncovering gaps, and turning scattered initiatives into a coherent approach.

In a world of shocks, transitions, and uncertainty, this matters because resilience is increasingly a core business requirement. The CSA helps companies build resilience by encouraging connected decisions that carry across functions, business units, and organizational levels.

In 2025, more than 3,600 companies, representing half of global market capitalization chose to participate in the CSA process.
