La empresa de medios e investigación especializada en sostenibilidad Corporate Knights ha incluido por primera vez a SMA Solar Technology AG (SMA/ISIN: DE000A0DJ6J9/FWB: S92) en el prestigioso “100 Most Sustainable Corporations in he World Index” (código de cotización: CKG100). La publicación Global Knights lleva elaborando este ranking anual desde 2005, basándose para ello en exhaustivos estudios sobre el rendimiento en materia de sostenibilidad de las empresas y sus productos. En el Global 100 Index para 2024, que se dio a conocer la tarde de ayer en el Foro Económico Mundial de Davos, SMA se posicionó en décimo lugar dentro de la clasificación general, alzándose como líder dentro de su sector y de su grupo de referencia.
“Estamos muy orgullosos de la excelente posición obtenida en el reconocido Global 100 Index de las empresas más sostenibles”, comenta el presidente de la junta directiva de SMA, Jürgen Reinert. “El hecho de que Global Knights incluya a SMA en su lista como una de las diez empresas más sostenibles a nivel mundial viene a confirmar, una vez más, que vamos por muy buen camino de cara a conseguir nuestros objetivos de sostenibilidad y a lograr que, en el marco de nuestra estrategia 2025, SMA pase a ser una empresa totalmente sostenible que desempeñe un papel destacado en la configuración de un futuro mejor”.
Según Corporate Knights, las empresas que conforman el Global 100 Index están a la cabeza mundial en cuanto a rendimiento en términos de sostenibilidad. Para la elaboración del ranking de 2024, Corporate Knights evaluó a 6733 empresas globales con un volumen de ventas por encima de los mil millones de dólares estadounidenses, recurriendo para ello a 25 indicadores cuantitativos de sostenibilidad, como la facturación sostenible, la inversión sostenible, la consideración de objetivos de sostenibilidad en la remuneración de la junta directiva, la diversidad en los niveles directivos y el pago de impuestos. Se asignó un peso diferente a cada indicador con el fin de reflejar el impacto de cada sector de manera individualizada.
Grupo JAB es una de los principales distribuidores de SMA en España
