IT'S 2022 AND WE PASSED THE FTSE4GOOD TEST AGAIN!

It’s not easy to enjoy such an award unless you truly have a clear conscience about your environmental compatibility. FTSE4Good, the renowned sustainability index, recently included us. This is a highly important assessment and a significant basis for the decision making of sustainability-oriented investors.

We are committed to sustainability and climate protection, and we demonstrate this through our innovative measures on a continual basis. For example, we are reducing our consumption of resources in steelmaking and focusing on long-term decarbonization strategies. We also attach particular importance to responsible and transparent supply chain management. Our economic, social and environmental responsibility is clearly explained in the most recent Corporate Responsibility Report.

People are also thinking about stock market sustainability . Companies who operate in a climate-friendly manner or are committed to the environment are reviewed based on strict criteria by an independent committee consisting of NGOs, consultants and government agencies. If a company is deemed green enough, it is included in the FTSE4Good index family, one of the most prestigious sustainability indices on the international stock exchanges. The award provides sustainability-oriented investors with a recognized assessment and decision-making foundation for climate-friendly investments.

It's clear that we're in on the action now. We now belong to the FTSE4Good family. And we have a shapely, green figure for everyone to see in the stock market.
