Lowe’s has been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for North America for the second straight time, one of only six retailers to be included.
"Lowe’s is proud to be included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for North America and we are committed to improving our performance in environmental, social, and governance issues," states Chris Cassell, Senior Director of Corporate Sustainability "ESG topics are increasingly top of mind for our customers, associates and investors, and this acknowledges our continuous focus on being a responsible company."
The Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) are a family of best-in-class benchmarks for investors who have recognized that sustainable business practices are critical to generating long-term shareholder value and who wish to reflect their sustainability convictions in their investment portfolios. The family was launched in 1999 as the first global sustainability benchmark and tracks the stock performance of the world's leading companies in terms of economic, environmental and social criteria.
Inclusion of Lowe’s in the indices is a testament to our commitment to areas impacting the environment, social issues, and governance. This year we performed especially well in the areas of Corporate Governance, Environmental Reporting, and Corporate Citizenship and Philanthropy. We continue to strive as a company to be aware, innovative, and positively impactful to ensure our associates can be proud of their workplace and our customers can feel confident about their purchases and the products they bring into their home.
