OOIL Listed in Dow Jones Sustainability Asia/Pacific Index Again for its Outstanding ESG Performance
Orient Overseas (International) Limited, the parent company of Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) and OOCL Logistics, was continuously selected for inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Asia/Pacific Index, effective from 18th December 2023.
Dow Jones Sustainability Asia/Pacific Index was designed to measure the performance of Asia-Pacific sustainability leaders and is a member of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), which is the first sustainability benchmarks available in the market to track the financial performance of the world’s leading companies in terms of environmental, social responsibility and governance (ESG). Constituents of DJSI were identified by their S&P Global ESG Score, which were calculated using the results of their annual Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), an integrated assessment of governance & economic, environmental, and social criteria with a strong focus on long-term shareholder value. Over 13,000 companies were invited to participate in the CSA every year, while only about 3,500 of the largest companies globally are eligible for inclusion in any DJSI. OOIL was honored to be included in the Index since its first participation in the CSA assessment last year.
Inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices is clear and valuable recognition of OOIL’s outstanding performance in environmental, social, and governance practices and in ESG disclosures. As one of the world’s largest integrated container transportation and logistics services providers, the Group has consistently taken a leadership role in advancing sustainability, through implementing numerous initiatives to address environmental and business challenges. In the future, environmental, social and governance will continue to be at the core of the Group’s operations.
