Nielsen has been included for the second consecutive year in RobecoSAM’s annual “Sustainability Yearbook” for 2019. Honored with the Bronze Class distinction, this marks our fourth sustainability-related recognition in the last 12 months. We were also honored to be included on JUST Capital’s 2018 “JUST 100” rankings as the industry leader for Media companies at #40 on the list, on the 2018 Dow Jones Sustainability (DJSI) North America and World indices, and on the 2019 Bloomberg Gender Equality Index (GEI).
"Parabenizamos a Nielsen por ter conquistado um lugar no The Sustainability Yearbook 2019, uma vitrine das empresas com melhor desempenho do mundo entre seus pares do setor e em termos de métricas ESG financeiramente relevantes", disse Daniel Wild, PhD, Co-CEO da RobecoSAM. "Lançado este ano com a marca SAM e agora com maior acesso público às classificações de percentil de todas as empresas, o Yearbook continua sendo uma fonte altamente confiável de insights sobre sustentabilidade corporativa."
Since 2004, The Sustainability Yearbook has listed the world’s most sustainable companies in each industry as determined by their score in RobecoSAM’s annual Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). The CSA is an annual evaluation of companies’ sustainability practices, covering thousands of listed companies around the world and hundreds of different relevant data points per company focused on economic, environmental and social factors that are relevant to companies’ long-term success. Companies’ performance on the CSA informs whether or not they are included on a number of different applicable indices, including DJSI North America and DJSI World.
A CSA para empresas de serviços profissionais, da qual a Nielsen faz parte, concentra-se nas áreas mais importantes para garantir o sucesso comercial sustentado das empresas nessa categoria do setor, incluindo áreas como desenvolvimento de capital humano, atração e retenção de talentos e altos padrões de integridade e conduta ética. Na CSA de 2018, a Nielsen obteve a pontuação geral de 91º percentil.
“We’re humbled by this recognition of our continued progress on the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) areas that matter most to our business and our stakeholders,” said Julia Wilson, Director, Global Responsibility & Sustainability, Nielsen. “This is a key aspect of our trust and transparency as a brand. We’re committed to continuing this work with a spirit of continuous improvement and collaboration to create new value across our business and beyond.”
