The Sustainability World Index represents the top 10% of the largest 2,500 companies in the S&P Global BMI, based on long-term economic, environmental, and social criteria.
“Recognition in the DJSI is a testament to Union Pacific’s transparent progress to reduce our environmental impact, enhance the value we bring employees through meaningful work and meet the highest ethical standards,” said Union Pacific president Beth Whited.
“We are honored to be among this elite international group and recognize that our work is not done. We look forward to creating a sustainable future for our employees, customers, and communities,” Whited added.
This is Union Pacific’s second year on the North American DJSI Index. The railroad regularly reports its progress in all areas of environmental, social and governance practices through its Building America Report, Climate Action Plan and We Are One reports.
The DJSI, including the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index, were launched in 1999 as the pioneering series of global sustainability benchmarks available in the market. The index family is comprised of global, regional, and country benchmarks.
