VMware recognized for outstanding corporate
sustainability performance
VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) today announced the company has been
recognized on the 2020 Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), one
of the world’s leading environmental, social, and governance (ESG)
benchmarks. VMware ranked in the 94th percentile in the software
category for its leadership in corporate sustainability.
“Our commitment to building a resilient and sustainable future
extends across everything we do,” said Nicola Acutt, vice president
of sustainability strategy at VMware. “VMware is honored to be
included in this prestigious index and as we embark on a new
decade, we will continue to push the limits of positive change with
greater tenacity than ever.”
The DJSI measures the performance of companies selected with ESG
criteria by combining transparent rules-based index methodology
with robust data from SAM’s Corporate Sustainability Assessment
(CSA), an annual evaluation of companies’ sustainability
practices.
VMware achieved high scores in key areas of business conduct,
including Information Security, Climate Strategy, Environmental
Reporting as well as Corporate Citizenship and Philanthropy, among
others.
“We congratulate VMware for being included in the DJSI World and
DJSI North America. DJSI distinction is a reflection of being a
sustainability leader in your industry. With a record number of
companies participating in the 2020 Corporate Sustainability
Assessment and more stringent rules for inclusion this year, this
sets your company apart and rewards your continued commitment to
people and planet," said Manjit Jus, Global Head of ESG Research
and Data, S&P Global.
