Samsung C&T Included in Dow Jones Sustainability Index for 4 Consecutive Years

[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] Samsung C&T announced on the 16th that it has been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) World Index for the fourth consecutive year in this year's evaluation announced by Dow Jones in the United States.

The DJSI, which evaluates companies' sustainability management indices, annually assesses not only financial performance but also non-financial factors such as environment, society, and governance for approximately 2,500 global publicly traded companies with the highest market capitalization.

This year, only 323 companies, accounting for 12.7% of the 2,540 evaluated companies worldwide, were included in the World Index, and a total of 17 Korean companies, including Samsung C&T, were included.

Last October, Samsung C&T made a bold announcement of its "Coal Phase-Out Policy," stating that it will completely halt new businesses related to coal investment, construction, and trading to strengthen eco-friendly management, and will sequentially withdraw from existing businesses as projects are completed or contracts expire.

Additionally, the company continues to strengthen its corporate social responsibility fulfillment and board-centered governance system, and has been recognized for these efforts by receiving an integrated A grade for five consecutive years in the ESG evaluation by the Korea Corporate Governance Service.

Meanwhile, Samsung C&T plans to continue fulfilling its corporate social and environmental responsibilities step by step, actively communicating with various stakeholders of the company, and striving to establish itself as a company that creates sustainable value.
