Wärtsilä has been selected as a constituent of the Ethibel Sustainability Index (ESI) Excellence Europe with effect from 23 March 2015. This is a remarkable continuation to the recognition
Wärtsilä received from Forum Ethibel in September 2014, when Wärtsilä was included in the Ethibel Excellence Investment Register. The Index members are chosen from among those companies listed in the Ethibel Investment Registers.
The ESI indices universe is composed of companies included in the Russell Global Index that display the best performance in the field of Corporate Social Responsibility. The Ethibel Sustainability Index Excellence Europe includes 200 top performing European companies in this field. The analysis is based on research carried out by Vigeo, a leading European specialist organisation in the assessment of responsible performance.
"The selection to this Sustainability Index is yet another recognition of our continuous pursuit for ever more sustainable product and service offerings, as well as for good corporate citizenship, and encourages us to further continue our efforts in these fields,” says Marko Vainikka, Director, Corporate Relations and Sustainability.
“As a global leader in complete lifecycle solutions for the marine and energy markets, Wärtsilä plays a key role in providing environmentally sound solutions and services that enable its customers to develop their businesses in a sustainable way. This approach is the basis of our sustainability work and is supported by our strong commitment to responsible business conduct” Vainikka continues.
