Atlas Copco included in Dow Jones Sustainability Index

Atlas Copco, a leading provider of sustainable productivity solutions was listed last week in the Dow Jones Sustainability Europe Index for the 2015/2016 year fiscal year.

The prestigious index highlights companies that are both sustainability driven and attractive for investors.

“Showing leadership in sustainability through our energy-efficient products and strong code of conduct gives our business a competitive edge,” Mala Chakraborti, Atlas Copco’s vice president of corporate responsibility, said. “We feel very proud to see this value creation confirmed with our inclusion in the index.”

This is the fifth year in a row that Atlas Copco has been included on the list. The DJSI Europe index includes only the top 20 percent of the many hundreds of publicly listed companies based in the region that were assessed.

The DJSI listing is based on research by RobecoSAM, a specialized and renowned investment group. Sustainability leaders are known to outperform their peers financially in the long term.
