SEB the only Nordic bank in Dow Jones Sustainability Index
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
SEB is the only Nordic bank included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, the
most recognised global sustainability ranking for investors.
The rankings are based on a comprehensive questionnaire with detailed criteria
on some 20 different categories relating to economic, environmental and social
responsibility.
"The importance of the financial industry for sustainable development is
becoming increasingly clear. For us at SEB, sustainability is a natural part of
our business. It is a prerequisite for our long-term contribution to support our
customers and for positive sustainable development" says Marie Baumgarts, Head
of Sustainability.
In total, there are 18 Nordic companies in the global ranking, and SEB is the
only Nordic bank for the second consecutive year. SEB's ratings are in line with
last year's results.
Dow Jones Sustainability Index is a collaboration between S&P Dow Jones Indices
and asset manager RobecoSAM, which specialises in sustainable investments.
