RB received the Silver Class distinction in the 2019 edition of RobecoSAM’s Sustainability Yearbook (“The Yearbook”) for its sustainability performance during 2018.
The Yearbook is the world’s most comprehensive publication on corporate sustainability and, since 2004, has showcased the sustainability performance of the world’s largest companies in each industry. The Yearbook is based on results from the Corporate Sustainability Assessment (“CSA”). With over 2.4 million data points on the most financially material ESG criteria in each industry, the Yearbook continues to be a comprehensive guide to the strongest performing, largest companies in the world.
Daniel Wild, PhD, Co-CEO RobecoSAM: “We congratulate RB on its Silver Award in The Sustainability Yearbook 2019, which showcases the best performing companies among industry peers and in terms of financially material ESG metrics. As the Corporate Sustainability Assessment constantly raises the bar, so the Yearbook remains a highly credible source of corporate sustainability insights. This year it is launched under the SAM brand, and with increased public access to the percentile rankings of all companies.”
