Terna listed in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for the 9th year running

• The Company’s presence in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index has been confirmed for the 9th year running 
• Maximum score achieved for specific environmental performance in the transmission sector

“Terna’s inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for yet another year confirms the central importance of Sustainability in creating value for our stakeholders”, – commented Terna CEO, Luigi Ferraris. “We believe that Sustainability is fundamental in combining the objectives of minimising environmental impact and reducing costs for the system as key components of our investments for the Country”.

Another important score was that achieved in the environmental category (95/100), thanks to the climate-change strategy, comprehensive environmental-management and biodiversity-protection systems and specific electricity-transmission parameters. Finally, it is important to note Terna’s score for the new Human Rights category, which was among the highest and was obtained thanks to particular attention paid to human rights, attention which also led to Terna being classified the best Italian company among 3,000 companies worldwide in Vigeo-Eiris’ rating in February 2017.
