world
IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS), the leading global source of critical
information and insight, today announced the publication of its
2014 Sustainability Report. The report, which is available online,
provides an update on the previous year’s progress -- including an
increase in transparency around some important sustainability
metrics -- and highlights upcoming sustainability goals and
objectives.
Among its major achievements for 2014, IHS contributed more than
22,000 hours of volunteer time supporting the global communities in
which it operates and serves, and continued its focus on supporting
education, the environment and improvements in health and wellness.
In addition, the company was named for the second straight year to
the Dow Jones North America Sustainability Index and was included
in the 2015 RobecoSAM Sustainability Yearbook, receiving the Bronze
class distinction. IHS is also included in four different MSCI
indexes demonstrating the company’s progress on its major ESG
initiatives.
“We are proud of the progress that IHS has made in
sustainability,” said Jerre Stead, IHS Chairman and CEO. “These
achievements are a reflection of our incredible colleagues at IHS
who work with a sustainable mindset and an approach that benefits
society, the environment and enables the long-term profitable
growth that drives value creation for shareholders.
“Like many of today’s leading companies, IHS recognizes that
sustainability is a business imperative, one that can help us to
create new and innovative products, reduce costs and maintain our
license to operate,” Stead said.
“From the beginning, we designed our sustainability program to
ensure that IHS was structured for long-term success in a complex
and changing world,” said Jane Okun Bomba, senior vice president
and chief sustainability, IR & communications officer for IHS.
“We believe that sustainability and business growth are
complementary; our own success and future as a company are
inseparable from the success and future of the world around
us.”
The report details the measurable ways in which IHS colleagues
directly shape a sustainable culture by engaging in community
outreach activities and in giving back through volunteering and
team-driven community improvement efforts. Highlights to the IHS
sustainability program in 2014 include an updated materiality
analysis, reevaluated goals and commitments across the business,
greater detail into social reporting as well as Global Reporting
Initiative (GRI) analysis based on G-4 guidelines. These added
elements lend insight and transparency into how sustainability is
embedded within IHS and throughout the company’s culture.
