SAINT-GOBAIN JOINS THE
DOW JONES "world" and "europe" SUSTAINABILITY INDEXES
Saint-Gobain is now part of the 2016 Dow Jones Sustainability
Index (DJSI), ranking among the top-three global companies and the
number one European company for construction products. Special
mention was given to the Group's commitment and initiatives to
tackle climate change. Established in 1999, the DJSI is one of the
world's leading indexes to distinguish best-in-class companies in
the field of corporate social responsibility.
Pierre-André de Chalendar, Chairman and CEO of Saint-Gobain
said: "I am very proud to see our Group included in this renowned
index, which is the benchmark for Corporate Social Responsibility.
It is recognition of our commitment in this endeavor. We initially
set out to be listed in 2017, so we met our target a year ahead of
schedule. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our teams
for achieving this excellent result."
RobecoSAM, the investment specialist that draws up the annual
ranking, sends out a questionnaire every year to the world's
largest 3,400 companies to carry out an in-depth analysis of their
economic, environmental and social performance. Three hundred and
sixteen of the companies taking part around the world were included
in the 2016 index.
