Corio included in new ESG index: Euronext Vigeo Eurozone 120
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
NYSE Euronext (NYX), the world's largest exchange group, and Vigeo, the leading
European expert in responsible performance, are expanding their range of ESG
indices with the launch of the Euronext Vigeo Benelux 20, the Euronext Vigeo
Eurozone 120 and the Euronext Vigeo US 50.
Corio is very pleased to announce that it has been included in the Euronext
Vigeo Eurozone 120 index. We see this as a reward for our ongoing efforts to
improve our CSR performance and fully integrate CSR into the way we do business.
As with the Euronext Vigeo World 120, Euronext Vigeo Europe 120, Euronext Vigeo
France 20 and Euronext Vigeo UK 20, all launched in March 2013, the component
stocks of these three new indices are the companies rated highest for control of
corporate responsibility risk and contributions to sustainable development.
Performance is measured by the Equitics® method pioneered by Vigeo. Ratings are
based on 38 criteria including respect for the environment; human rights and
recognition of companies' human capital; relations with stakeholders (clients,
suppliers, employees, shareholders, etc.); corporate governance and business
ethics; integrity in influencing policy and efforts to fight corruption; and the
prevention of social and environmental dumping in the supply and subcontracting
chain. Vigeo draws on its existing database to analyse nearly 330 indicators for
each company.
Gerard Groener (CEO Corio): " CSR for Corio is all about making the company as
successful as possible, now and in the future. We cannot define success by
economic performance alone. Social- and environmental performance are just as
much part of what we are about and what our Favourite Meeting Places are about.
We are happy to see an increase of momentum for CSR with the creation of this
new leading ESG index and an increase of transparency towards shareholders and
investors. We are of course proud to be part of this new index."
