CSR1 performance: Groupe PSA ranked leader of
the automotive sector by two major rating agencies and maintained
as a constituent of five SRI2 indices
On 11 September 2017, after analyzing more than 2,000 companies,
including 36 for the automotive sector, S&P3 has decided to
include Groupe PSA in the "Dow Jones Sustainability Index World
2017". This index only retains the top 10% of companies in each
sector according to economic, environmental and social criteria,
with a particular focus on creating long-term value for
shareholders. Groupe PSA, which had integrated this index for the
first time in 2016, has become leader of the automotive sector this
year.
On 6 October 2017, the extra-financial rating agency Vigeo-Eiris
has also confirmed the retention of Groupe PSA in four Euronext
Vigeo-Eiris SRI indices: "World 120" (the 120 most advanced
companies at the global level), “Europe 120" (the 120 most advanced
European companies), "Eurozone 120" (the 120 most advanced
companies in the Eurozone) and "France 20" (the 20 most advanced
French companies). These indices distinguish companies that achieve
the best results in ESG4 domains. With this dominant performance on
these matters, Groupe PSA is again today the only car
manufacturer maintained in these indices.
On 20 September, Forum Ethibel5 has also confirmed the presence
of Groupe PSA in its "Ethibel Sustainability Index (ESI) Excellence
Europe" composed of companies that play a leading role in their
sector in terms of CSR.
On this occasion, Karine Hillaireau, Head of Sustainability for
Groupe PSA, said: "This is an extremely positive message,
reinforcing the Group's technological choices and strategic
orientations. Maintaining our company in these indices is essential
as both SRI and mainstream investors include environmental, social
and governance criteria in their investment decisions."
