TORONTO - Barrick Gold has once again been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DSJI). This is the fifth time the company's corporate social responsibility efforts have been recognized by the DSJI, and the fourth time in a row.

"Although Barrick has been ranked as a leader today, we know we must continually improve our performance. We have a responsibility to respect all people, protect the environment and contribute to the progress and prosperity of our host communities around the world."
