The Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes are the world's leading indexes for assessing the economic and financial performance of leading sustainability-driven companies. Inclusion in this index is seen as a benchmark by stakeholders. The SKF Group has once again been praised for the excellence of its supply chain management, the transparency of its tax strategy and the effectiveness of its global environmental management program.
Rob Jenkinson, Head of Sustainable Development, comments: " We've been working to integrate sustainability into our business for a long time, and we're delighted to receive this recognition from the DJSI once again. Our products and solutions are helping to transform the world through more sustainable management of our energy consumption and carbon emissions. Our energy consumption has decreased by 16 % since 2006 ".
As part of its global sustainability strategy, named BeyondZero, the SKF Group also obtained worldwide ISO 50001 certification this year, announced in February. 38 production sites, representing no less than 90 % of the Group's direct energy consumption, have implemented the SKF energy management system, thus contributing to the reduction of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions along the entire value chain.
Launched in 1999, the Dow Jones Sustainability Index is the world's oldest sustainability benchmark.
