Oshkosh Corporation, a leader in designing and manufacturing purpose-built vehicles and equipment, has been named to the prestigious 2024 Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World). This recognition marks the sixth consecutive year the company has earned a spot on the index, underscoring its dedication to sustainable business practices and long-term environmental, economic, and social responsibility.
The Dow Jones Sustainability World Index is a global benchmark that highlights companies demonstrating leadership in sustainability. The index is compiled by S&P Global through its Corporate Sustainability Assessment, which evaluates companies across various sustainability criteria, including governance, climate change efforts, resource efficiency, and community impact. Only the top 10% of the largest 2,500 companies in the S&P Global Broad Market Index are included, making it a highly competitive and sought-after distinction. Oshkosh’s inclusion reflects its continuous commitment to driving positive change across all aspects of its business.
Kevin Tubbs, Oshkosh’s vice president and chief environmental and sustainability officer, shared the company’s pride in this achievement, stating, “At Oshkosh, sustainability begins with putting people first—our team members, the communities we serve, and the everyday heroes who count on our products to protect, support, and serve.” He added, “This recognition on the DJSI reflects the unwavering commitment of our 18,000+ team members who live our values every day. Together, we are driving meaningful change, fostering resilience, and building a future where people and innovation thrive.
Launched in 1999, the DJSI was the first global series of sustainability benchmarks and continues to be one of the most respected indicators of corporate sustainability. It provides investors and stakeholders with a comprehensive view of companies’ environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance, guiding investment decisions that align with sustainability goals. The DJSI World includes global leaders from various industries that show measurable progress in improving environmental impact, social responsibility, and economic viability.

The validation of Oshkosh’s GHG reduction targets marks an important milestone in its ongoing sustainability journey.
