Olympus has been named to the DJSI World for two consecutive years and DJSI Asia Pacific for four.

Olympus is one of only 8 out of 64 companies to have been included in the DJSI World Health Care Equipment & Supplies sector. The company's scores on Access to Healthcare, Talent Attraction & Retention, Tax Strategy, Environmental Policy & Management Systems were of particular note, being not only highly rated, but having also been improved over last year's scores. In addition to the DJSI World and Asia Pacific, Olympus was also named to the FTSE4Good Index Series and FTSE Blossom Japan Index.
Stefan Kaufmann; Director, Executive Officer, and Chief Administrative Officer of Olympus, stated: "It is a great honor for Olympus to again be selected for the DJSI World and Asia Pacific.
