The only company from the media sector joining the Dow Jones Sustainability Europe Index this year, JCDecaux will be among 154 companies included within its ranking (including 31 French companies), based on sustainable development criteria with financial implications in the economic, environmental and social spheres. This inclusion recognises the commitments, transparency and performance of JCDecaux since the 2014 launch of its Sustainable Development Strategy in France and all of its subsidiaries around the world, which focuses on six key pillars: – Reducing energy consumption For more than 50 years, the pursuit of socially responsible and environmentally-friendly growth has been central to JCDecaux’s business model of servicing cities, transport companies and citizens on a daily basis through innovative solutions that incorporate sustainable development. This is delivered through a variety of initiatives, including self-service bicycles, automated public toilets and intelligent street furniture. Jean-Charles Decaux, Chairman of the Executive Board and co-CEO of JCDecaux, said: “We are pleased to be included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Europe Index and to earn recognition of JCDecaux’s commitment to being a socially-responsible company, less than one year after joining the prestigious FTSE4Good Index. It symbolises the recognition of our ambitious Sustainable Development Strategy, which was formalised in 2014 but has been at the heart of our business model and innovation and growth policy since 1964, as well as the sustained and continuous efforts of all of our teams in terms of environmental, social and societal responsibility.” Key Figures for the Group Corporate Communications: Agathe Albertini |
