Business Wire
IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS), the leading global source of critical
information and insight, today announced it has been named for a
second consecutive year to the Dow Jones Sustainability North
America Index. The announcement comes just two years after IHS
first established a long-term goal for being a recognized leader in
Corporate Sustainability by 2015.
“Economic uncertainty and a challenging business environment
remain constants in today’s world, and without question, our focus
on Corporate Sustainability – helping customers operate more
efficiently and with less risk -- is helping to position IHS for
long-term success,” said Scott Key, IHS president and chief
executive officer. “Our listing once again in the Dow Jones
Sustainability North America Index is a key measure of the success
of our company’s Corporate Sustainability efforts. I am incredibly
proud of my colleagues for their hard work and dedication.”
IHS drove improvements in all three dimensions of the 2014
RobecoSAM assessment through continued focus on governance,
operational eco-efficiency, citizenship and philanthropy and labor
practices. The company’s strong culture of sustainability --
coupled with IHS information, analytics and expertise – enable IHS
to lead the industry in helping clients develop and implement
unified strategies to advance sustainable solutions, and to achieve
their objectives for Operational Excellence and Risk
Management.
“The Dow Jones family of Sustainability Indices is one of the
most recognized sustainability performance rating tools,” added
Jane Okun Bomba, IHS senior vice president and chief sustainability
officer. “Through the several years of our participation in the
assessment, we have focused on improving our policies, processes
and level of transparency on important non-financial performance
metrics and as a result, we have become a better company. Being
named to the index for the second year in a row is evidence of the
significant progress we have made in Corporate Sustainability.”
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.
