Continuous improvement is key, and in 2022 we will launch a new sustainability strategy as well as science-based emission reduction targets.”
Manjit Jus, Global Head of ESG Research at S&P Global: “We congratulate NENT Group for being included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for the world and Europe. A DJSI distinction is a reflection of being a sustainability leader in your industry. The record number of companies participating in the 2021 S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment is testament to the growing movement for ESG disclosure and transparency.”
