Solvay makes comeback into the Dow Jones Sustainability Index
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Brussels, September 7, 2017 --- Solvay has rejoined the World Dow Jones
Sustainability Index (DJSI World), underlining the Group's commitment to improve
its performance in sustainable development as part of its business strategy.
"Solvay is very proud of this achievement which for us acknowledges how we have
successfully integrated sustainability in the way we do business. Sustainability
is part of Solvay's overall performance as captured in the five quantified
sustainability objectives we set two years ago to steer and monitor our
progress. Today's good news stimulates us to improve further," said Pascal
Chalvon-Demersay, Chief Sustainability Officer at Solvay.
The DJSI World, the first global index to track the leading sustainability-
driven companies, is a key reference for corporate sustainability. Solvay was in
particular rewarded for the robustness of both its materiality analysis and its
Sustainable Portfolio Management methodology which measures the impact of the
Group's business decisions.
