Specialty chemicals company Lanxess will again be part of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index Europe (DJSI). The group will also be included beginning mid-September 2017, for the seventh consecutive time in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index World.

The composition of the sustainability index is determined once a year on the basis of financially relevant environmental, social and governance factors. Among the achievements at Lanxess highlighted this year was the improvement in emissions and water consumption as well as in the area of personnel development. Hence, Lanxess ranks among the top ten per cent of the chemical industry.

“We have firmly anchored the principle of sustainable development in our corporate strategy. To be listed again in these important indices is a confirmation of our exceptional engagement in this area,” said Lanxess CEO Matthias Zachert.

The DJSI is compiled through collaboration between S&P Dow Jones Indices and RobecoSAM, an asset manager specialising in sustainability investments. This year, more than 3,400 of the biggest companies out of 24 branches in industrialised countries and emerging markets were invited to take part in the assessment.
