Hess has earned a place on the prestigious Dow Jones
Sustainability Index (DJSI) North America for the ninth consecutive
year. The index, which recognizes public companies for outstanding
performance across economic, environmental and social factors, is
used as a reference by shareholders who consider sustainability
when making investment decisions. Only the most sustainable
companies in each industry are considered each year for index
membership.
Hess also earned Industry Mover distinction for being in the top
15 percent of its industry and achieving the largest proportional
improvement in sustainability performance compared to the previous
year. This distinction qualifies Hess for inclusion in the 2018
edition of RobecoSAM’s Sustainability Yearbook which recognizes
companies for “outstanding corporate sustainability
achievements.”
Hess is one of four U.S. oil and gas producers in the Energy
industry group listed on the North America Index and one of two
U.S. oil and gas producers included in the 2018 Sustainability
Yearbook.
“Being recognized by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for the
ninth straight year and receiving the Industry Mover distinction is
an honor and a testament to our company’s commitment to
sustainability,” said Alex Sagebien, Vice President, Environment,
Health and Safety, Hess Corporation.
“I congratulate Hess Corporation wholeheartedly for being
recognized as an Industry Mover in The Sustainability Yearbook
2018,” said Aris Prepoudis, CEO, RobecoSAM. “The companies included
in the Yearbook are the world’s most sustainable companies in their
industry and are moving the ESG needle in ways that will help us
realize the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.”
The DJSI, introduced in 1999, is produced by Dow Jones in
collaboration with RobecoSAM, a Swiss investment company founded on
the belief that integrating Environmental, Social and Governance
(ESG) factors into traditional financial analysis can generate
long-term value. The company has compiled one of the world’s most
comprehensive databases of financially material sustainability
information.
The Sustainability Yearbook lists the world’s most sustainable
companies in each industry as determined by their score in
RobecoSAM’s annual Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). The
assessment for the 2018 Yearbook looked at ESG performance in 60
industries reaching 43 countries.
Hess’ Sustainability Report describes the company’s
sustainability strategy and environmental, social and governance
programs. The 2017 report is available at:
