Business Wire
IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS), the leading global source of information
and analysis, is strengthening its commitment to corporate social
responsibility by establishing a new Corporate Sustainability goal
in 2012. This goal joins the company’s four other long-standing
goals upon which it focuses its efforts and measures its
success.
“Our emphasis on Corporate Sustainability will help ensure that
we are structured for long-term success in a changing business
environment,” said IHS Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jerre
Stead. “We will focus on sustainability to increase our
competitiveness as a company, while simultaneously improving both
the social and economic conditions of the communities in which we
operate.”
The new Corporate Sustainability goal joins the company’s
primary objectives, including:
- Improving Customer Delight;
- Fostering a culture that enables
colleague success;
- Delivering profitable top- and
bottom-line growth; and
- Providing an opportunity for
shareholder success relative to our peer group.
“In 2011 we launched our Corporate Sustainability function and
defined our vision of being world-class in Corporate Sustainability
by 2015,” said Jane Okun Bomba, IHS chief sustainability, investor
relations and communications officer. “Our global network of
sustainability champions has been integrating sustainable thinking
into everyday decisions in each of our offices around the world,
because we know that a strong culture of sustainability is an
integral part of our long-term success.”
IHS will measure its progress using the Dow Jones Sustainability
Index (DJSI), the first index that tracks social responsibility
performance and is one of the most credible worldwide
sustainability rating tools. The DJSI family selects sustainability
leaders from all industry sectors on the basis of criteria from the
Sustainable Asset Management (SAM) corporate sustainability
assessment.
To achieve its world-class vision, the company will focus on
improving its public reporting and provide greater insight
regarding environmental and social dimensions; increase its focus
on metrics, tracking and goal setting on operational
eco-efficiency; continue its commitment to and support of
citizenship and philanthropy, and continue its corporate governance
focus.
In addition to focusing internally on corporate sustainability,
IHS is also leading the industry in helping clients develop and
implement unified strategies to achieve their vision for Enterprise
Sustainability Management, including Environment, Health and
Safety, Operational Risk, GHG and Energy Management, Product
Stewardship, and Corporate Responsibility.
Added Okun Bomba: “In this challenging global business
environment, it is imperative that we pay attention to
environmental and social impacts, and to view these as
opportunities that strengthen our business for the long term. As we
continue to help support our clients in achieving their Enterprise
Sustainability Management goals, it is even more critical that IHS
is a role model in this area.”
