This is the third consecutive year that AMEC has been named as a sector leader in this index, which annually surveys the world’s largest 2500 companies. The top 10% performers based on their social, environmental and economic performance are listed. Of the 65 support-service companies, only 11 made it into the DJSI world index.
Peter Mason, chief executive of AMEC, said, ‘It’s abundantly clear to us that companies that work in a clean, safe and responsible way will do better than those that don’t.
‘It’s not always apparent in the short term, where profitability is the more obvious measure, but over the long term, a thoughtful approach to your people, the community and the environment will win you respect, and respect will win you work. The Dow Jones Index does a vital job in drawing attention to that fact, and we’re pleased to be recognised within it.’
