MOL has again been selected for inclusion in two separate investment indices of companies that meet international criteria for social responsibility – the Dow Jones Sustainability Asia Pacific Index and the FTSE4Good Global Index.
Earlier this month, the FTSE Group, a joint company of the Financial Times and the London Stock Exchange, announced its selections for the FTSE4Good Global Index, and U.S.-based Dow Jones named companies for the DJSI Asia/Pacific Index, after a thorough assessment process.
Companies chosen for these indices must meet international criteria for social responsibility in areas such as corporate governance, environmental protection, human rights, and relationships with stakeholders, and are expected to be leaders in sustainable growth. Selected companies become target investments for SRI funds.
MOL said it follows a group-wide approach to corporate social responsibility under the “MOL Group Corporate Principles”.
MOL is No. 13 on the JOC list of Top 15 Container Fleet Operators.
The Japanese carrier said it continually enhances its group-wide approach to corporate social responsibility as it “strives to become an excellent, resilient company that can contribute to sustainable worldwide growth.”
