In March 2021, SUEZ integrated the new Euronext CAC 40 ESG index, launched by Euronext with the backing of Vigeo Eiris, a Moody s subsidiary. This index measures companies performance relative to the combined criteria of several frameworks, including the United Nations Global Compact and the ISR label launched by the French finance ministry. Companies are selected from the Large 60 index, which includes the 40 reference stocks from the French CAC 40 plus the 20 from the CAC Next 20.
SUEZ was commended by Sustainalytics for its excellent management of ESG risk (environment, social and governance). The Group ranks second in the multi-utilities sector, consisting of 58 companies, and features in the low risk category.
This score reflects SUEZ s strong risk management and underlines how well ESG considerations are integrated into all the Group s processes and the whole value chain. The management of risks associated with occupational health and safety, business ethics and stakeholder relations is evaluated alongside the Group s climate and environmental risks.
This assessment of ESG risk management completes the ratings assessing corporate sustainable development best practices and responds to the growing eagerness of financial players to further integrate sustainability risk when choosing investments.
