Tesla's entry into the S&P 500 ESG Index could be due to the index methodology as much as Tesla's own improvement from a sustainability perspective. Tesla's S&P DJI ESG Score was 22 out of 100 (up 8 points from last year's score), driven by its ESG Dimension Scores, including an Environmental score of 28 (up 1 point), a Social score of 6 (up 2 points), and a Governance score of 49 (up 21 points). Though there are numerous factors at play with regards to Tesla's final score, such as the ESG performance of its industry competitors globally, with this rebalance, Tesla's standing among its industry group peers in the S&P 500 improved from the last rebalance (if it had been in the S&P 500 last year).
