List Recognizes Companies That Make A 'Positive Environmental
And Social Impact Worldwide'
Delta Air Lines has been added to
the Dow Jones "Sustainability Index for North America," and is
among four global airlines listed as "Sustainability Leaders" in
the annual survey. Delta is among 143 companies named to the North
American index Thursday by the Dow Jones Indexes and global
sustainable investing firm SAM, which together annually review
2,500 companies to create the sustainability indexes. Companies
named today meet high standards for economic, corporate and social
responsibility efforts.
"Being named to the North American index underscores Delta's
commitment to sustainable practices," said Ken Hylander, senior
vice president – Corporate Safety, Security and Compliance.
"Our people make the difference in taking steps to reduce our
environmental impact while increasing the volunteer and charitable
work we do in the cities where we fly and our employees live."
The index is a key resource for investors seeking opportunities
to support socially responsible companies and industries.
Delta joins SkyTeam alliance partners Air France-KLM, which
have been included in the DJSI since 2004 and have been frequently
recognized for global sustainability practices. Delta and Air
France-KLM are also listed as Sustainability Leaders in the airline
sector along with All Nippon Airways and Qantas Airways.
The annual review of the index analyzes corporate economic,
environmental and social performance, assessing issues such as
corporate governance, risk management, branding, climate change
mitigation, supply chain standards and labor practices. It follows
a best-in-class approach and includes input from sustainability
leaders from each industry on a global and regional level
respectively.
