|
| Zurich, 22 January, 2014 (APA/OTS) - Yearbook commemorates
companies with the best sustainability practices/ For investors
Yearbook signals which companies are positioned to create
shareholder value/ RobecoSAM's CEO encourages the CEOs of the
yearbook's 59 Industry Leaders to talk to their pension fund
managers and help them embrace sustainability |
RobecoSAM, the investment specialist focused exclusively on
Sustainability Investing, today announced the publication of its
annual Sustainability Yearbook (http://yearbook.robecosam.com/). The
yearbook looks back at companies' sustainability performance in 2013
and ranks them as Gold, Silver or Bronze. The top performing company
from each of the 59 industries is awarded RobecoSAM Industry Leader.
Since 1999, RobecoSAM has been assessing and documenting the
sustainability performance of over 2,000 corporations on a yearly
basis and has a sophisticated proprietary database.

Corporate participation at an all-time high
A record number of companies participated in RobecoSAM's Corporate
Sustainability Assessment. Out of the largest 3,000 companies that
are invited, 818 companies from 39 different countries participated
with a 31% increase in participation from companies in emerging
markets. RobecoSAM views this as a positive development in corporate
sustainability and therefore recognizes the top industries by
participation rate.
Ranking: The Top 3 Industries by Participation Rate
1. Household Products
2. Professional Services
3. Computers & Peripherals and Office Electronics
RobecoSAM raises the bar: Which companies make the cut?
This year, RobecoSAM made it more challenging to be a yearbook
member. Now not only do companies need to be in the top 15% of their
industry but they must also achieve a score within 30% of their
Industry Leader's score to make the cut. This effectively makes
being a yearbook member a more exclusive acknowledgement of a
company's sustainability practices.
Sustainability impacts the bottom line
For investors, the Sustainability Yearbook identifies companies that
are strongly positioned to create long-term shareholder value.
RobecoSAM's annual Corporate Sustainability Assessment focuses on
examining financially material factors that impact a company's core
business value drivers. Factors such as a company's ability to
innovate, attract and retain talent or increase resource efficiency
matter from an investor's point of view because they impact a
company's competitive position and long-term financial performance.
Michael Baldinger, CEO, RobecoSAM said: "Companies still face the
challenge of convincing investors to embrace sustainability as a
means of generating shareholder value." Baldinger is confident that
this can change: "Starting with their own corporate pension funds,
industry leaders are in an ideal position to encourage investors to
integrate sustainability into their investment strategies."
With the publication of the Sustainability Yearbook Baldinger
encourages the CEO's of the RobecoSAM Industry Leaders to talk to
their pension fund managers. He said: "Help them understand the
financial and competitive benefits of corporate sustainability
strategies and how these translate into shareholder value."
Each year RobecoSAM picks out the most prominent sustainability
topics and shares its expertise through white papers in the prelude
to the Sustainability Yearbook. The trending topics this year are:
o Focus on Financial Materiality of Sustainability
(http://www.presseportal.de/go2/yearbook.robecosam )
o Sustainability Leaders in the Emerging Markets - Myth or
Reality?
(http://www.presseportal.de/go2/yearbook.robecosam1 )
