Premier Farnell has been accepted as a member of the European Dow Jones Sustainability Index.
The accolade was given in recognition of the success of the company's sustainability strategy, its enhanced Trust Agenda and the importance it places on environmental performance across its global operations.
Initiated in 2010, the European DJSI benchmarks and recognises European companies that meet the high sustainability standards of the US based Dow Jones Sustainability Index. In the assessment, Premier Farnell achieved points for its environmental performance and reporting; which includes energy efficiency enhancements taking place across its facilities worldwide. According to Premier Farnell, scores achieved in almost all other areas were 'significantly above' the sector averages.
Steven Webb, company secretary, Premier Farnell, pictured, said: "Sustainability is a key part of our business strategy, with the Trust Agenda playing a significant role in ensuring the long term success of our business in a rapidly changing world. Being recognised by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index is an important achievement and provides us with a new way to communicate our leading sustainability performance to US and international customers and investors, who are often more familiar with this ranking than with our UK accolades."
