Efforts for sustainable development aknowledged

MOL as the only central-east European company made it to the group of world leading companies included in the recently published Sustainability Yearbook of SAM (Sustainable Asset Management) – a Swiss company doing regular analysis connected to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. MOL was also awarded with the title of “Sector Mover” recognising its efforts in the field of sustainability.

MOL as one of the top 15% best performing companies in terms of sustainability is the only central-east European company among those 2500 corporations analysed. The independent assessment reflects the three dimensions of sustainability: the long term economic, social and environmental performance. MOL scored outstanding values in all three aspects.

MOL was qualified for the “SAM Bronze Class” in the oil and gas producers segment together with such majors as Shell and BP. Since MOL achieved the biggest proportional improvement in its sustainability performance compared with last year, it became eligible for the “Sector Mover” title as well.

The fact that we are the only company from the region that became part of an elite group of world leading companies is the acknowledgement of our sustainability strategy introduced in 2006. This high achievement is a clear indication that our commitment towards sustainability is not just an idle word but it is deeply embedded in the everyday business practice of the MOL Group – said Mr. György Mosonyi, GCEO of the MOL Group.

The corporate sustainability assessment of SAM is a tool that highlights the probable risks and opportunities in light of the global sustainability trends. Business activities are evaluated by balancing the long term economic, social and environmental impacts. The Yearbook contains the best companies of 58 different industry sectors.
