Wärtsilä included in Dow Jones Sustainability Index
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 9 September 2016, at 13.15 EET
Wärtsilä is pleased to announce that the company has been selected as an index
component of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), both in the DJSI World
and DJSI Europe indices.
S&P Dow Jones Indices, one of the world's leading index providers, and
RobecoSAM, the investment specialist focused exclusively on Sustainability
Investing, yesterday announced the results of the annual Dow Jones
Sustainability Indices review. This year RobecoSAM invited 3,400 of the world's
largest companies from developed and emerging markets to participate in its
annual Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA).
Launched in 1999, the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) are a family of
indices evaluating the sustainability performance of the largest companies
listed on the Dow Jones Global Total Stock Market Index. They are the longest-
running global sustainability benchmarks worldwide, and have become a key
reference point in sustainability investing for investors and companies alike.
The DJSI is based on an analysis of corporate economic, environmental and social
performance, assessing issues such as corporate governance, risk management,
branding, climate change mitigation, supply chain standards and labour
practices.
"Being included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index represents a major
recognition of Wärtsilä's continuous sustainability work. Our extensive
portfolio of environmentally sound products and solutions enables us to
contribute to sustainable global development, and we work in close cooperation
with our customers to achieve better environmental performance. We take this
recognition as an additional motivation to continue our efforts in working with
sustainability," says Marko Vainikka, Director, Corporate Relations and
Sustainability.
