For the second consecutive year, Electrolux has been included as a constituent in the Global Compact 100, a stock index composed of companies that have signed the United Nations Global Compact.
The GC 100 is composed of a representative group of companies with “strong practices and performance in adhering to the principles of the UN Global Compact around management of human rights, labor rights, the environment and anti-¬corruption.” Selected companies also show “evidence of executive leadership commitment and consistent base-¬line profitability.”
The index – which was launched in 2013 in partnership with research firm Sustainalytics – is now a real-¬time, quoted index appearing alongside other global financial data on Bloomberg investor terminals. It has shown a 21.8 percent return in the 12 months since it was created, according to the UN Global Compact.
The Electrolux Group sells more than 50 million products to customers in more than 150 markets every year.
