New sustainability accolade for Tork
SCA has been included in the FTSE4Good global sustainability market index for the eleventh consecutive year.
The index measures the performance of companies that meet globally-recognised corporate responsibility standards. SCA received 98 points out of a possible 100 in the FTSE4Good rating this year.
"In 2010 SCA began the installation of a lime kiln at the Östrand pulp mill in Sweden which will cut carbon dioxide emission by 80 per cent,” said sustainability communications manager Marita Sander.
“We have also released a new global hygiene supplier standards, to name just two examples. It is of great value to us that our engagement is being recognised by independent evaluators.”
The FTSE4Good Index criteria covers environmental management, climate change, human and labour rights, supply chain labour standards, countering bribery and corporate governance. The index is jointly managed by the London Stock Exchange and the Financial Times, evaluating businesses based on their social and environmental actions.
SCA regularly receives recognition for its sustainable policies. Earlier this month the company was named by the Ethisphere Institute as one of the world’s most ethical companies for a fourth consecutive year. And also in March, SCA was one of only four companies worldwide to be shortlisted for the Globe Sustainability Reporting Award 2011.
