IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS), the leading global source of critical
information and insight, today announced it has been named for a
third consecutive year to the Dow Jones Sustainability North
America Index.
“We are honored and privileged to be named for the third time to
the Dow Jones Sustainability North American Index,” said Jerre
Stead, IHS chairman and chief executive officer. “Sustainability
continues to be a core element of our business model and key to our
future performance. We have embedded sustainability into every
aspect of the IHS culture and it’s a critical part of the solutions
we provide to our customers. This recognition of excellence in
Sustainability was earned through the hard work and dedication of
my fellow colleagues; I’m incredibly proud of them.”
According to the 2015 DJSI index results released last week, IHS
improved across all three dimensions that make up a strong
corporate sustainability framework: economic, environment and
social. Within those dimensions, the index recognized IHS as
excelling in four areas: customer delight, colleague engagement,
environmental reporting, and occupational health and safety. IHS
continues to develop and mature its sustainability processes as
well as increase transparency, factors that are important in
maintaining DJSI listing and recognition.
“We formally launched Corporate Sustainability at IHS almost
five years ago; we’ve come a long way since then,” said Jane Okun
Bomba, IHS senior vice president and chief sustainability officer.
“From the beginning, we have focused on sustainability as a way to
increase our competitiveness in a complex and changing world and to
enable IHS to be a force for positive change. The company’s strong
culture of sustainability -- coupled with our information,
analytics and expertise – enable IHS to lead the industry in
helping clients develop and implement unified strategies to advance
sustainable solutions.”
The Dow Jones Sustainability Indices were launched in 1999 as
the first global sustainability benchmarks and are offered
cooperatively by the SAM and S&P Dow Jones Indices to
track the stock performance of the world's leading companies in
terms of economic, environmental and social criteria. The indices
serve as benchmarks for investors who integrate sustainability
considerations into their portfolios, and provide an effective
engagement platform for companies who want to adopt sustainable
best practices.
