Rezidor qualifies for OMX GES Sustainability Nordic and Sweden Indexes
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The Rezidor Hotel Group AB (REZT), one of the fastest growing hotel companies
worldwide, has been included in both the OMX GES Sustainability Nordic Index and
the OMX GES Sustainability Sweden Index as of July 1, 2010.
GES Investment Services - Northern Europe's leading research and service
provider for Responsible Investment - and NASDAQ OMX, the world's largest
exchange company, calculate a number of sustainability and ethical indexes on
the Nordic markets, providing investors with an objective and reliable benchmark
for responsible investments. The Nordic Sustainability Index highlights the 50
best rated companies on the Nordic exchanges, while the Sweden Index comprises
the 30 best rated on the Stockholm exchange. Thus the indexes identify the
leading companies in terms of sustainability based on how well they meet
criteria for environmental, social and governance issues.
"We are delighted that our pledge to build a responsible and sustainable
company has been recognised with a place in these two indexes", comments Kurt
Ritter, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rezidor. "We firmly believe in
monitoring not just the bottom line but the triple bottom line of environmental,
social and economic performance and are proud of our success in balancing these
three equally important elements."
Analysts at GES Investment Services chose to include Rezidor as a result of its
long-standing award-winning Responsible Business programme which covers issues
such as health and well-being of guest and employees, resource efficiency
relating to energy, water and waste, community outreach, cultural heritage and
charity. The company has received external verification for its efforts through
countless awards and eco-labels as well as recognitions including its recent
naming as one of the World's Most Ethical Companies, all the while growing the
business.
