September 20, 2018 Christopher Hohenstein
Reputable gambling operator, GVC Holdings has been awarded the Dow Jones hip for providing continuous corporate sustainability in the industry. The honor, which represents the ‘gold standard’ in business, is given to leading integrity-driven companies after the period of tracking environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors has proven successful.
After merging with MGM. The Gaming Group’s director of investor relations, Nick Batram, said in an interview:
“We are proud to be recognized as a leader in corporate social responsibility, which is at the core of everything we do as a business. Acting responsibly is not a luxury but fundamental to our long-term success and a key driver of shareholder value.”
Among the newly crowned DJSI operators is also Las Vegas Sands, whose president and COO, Robert Goldstein, expressed his opinion on the ittance with the following statement:
“This designation speaks to our commitment to continually strengthening our corporate social responsibility performance, as well as maintaining our drive toward positive business impact in the regions we serve.”
The Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) was established in 1999 with the aim of conducting corporate sustainability analysis, as well as robust index methodology. Both reviews were carried out by RobecoSAM, an investment veteran with focus on Sustainability Investing and a consistent rules-based assessment methodology.
According to Manjit Jus, head of ESG Ratings, the continuous improvement of social corporate practices represents the company’s commitment to achieving impeccable positive impacts on the market, and this is key to obtaining the Dow Jones index.
