CNH Industrial Named to Dow Jones Sustainability Indices for 8th Consecutive Year

CASE Construction Equipment’s parent company, CNH Industrial, has been named as the industry leader in Machinery and Electrical Equipment in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), World and Europe, for the eighth consecutive year. The DJSI World and DJSI Europe are among the most prestigious sustainability — focused equity indices. Inclusion in these indices is exclusively for companies that are judged as exemplary in terms of their economic, environmental and social performance. 

“CNH Industrial’s commitment to sustainability is foundational to our organization. Everyone here at CASE is proud to be part of a family of brands whose global initiatives have such a significant impact on our communities,” says Michel Marchand, vice president — North America, CASE Construction Equipment. “Sustainability efforts impact much more than just environmental issues. Our community-building efforts through Dire States, the Kickstart Contest, Victory Garden Blitz, Habitat for Humanity volunteers as well as our partnership with Team Rubicon have all played a small part in making CNH Industrial the global sustainability leader in our category.” 

This year, the DJSI World evaluation process invited 91 companies to participate in the Machinery and Electrical Equipment industry category, only 11 of which were admitted to the index. For the DJSI Europe Index, 30 companies were invited to participate, and only six were admitted. The 2018 assessment resulted in a score of 88/100 for CNH Industrial for the assessed companies in the Machinery and Electrical Equipment industry.

All companies selected for consideration in the indices are evaluated by RobecoSAM, an investment specialist exclusively focused on sustainability investing. CNH Industrial received the highest score in all three dimensions of analysis: Operational Eco- Efficiency and Environmental Policy & Management System (environmental dimension) as well as Social Reporting (social dimension) and Innovation Management (economic dimension). 

In April of this year, CNH Industrial released its 2017 Sustainability Report along with A Sustainable Year, a publication for general audiences recounting the main sustainability activities the Company and its employees accomplished in 2017.
