The index evaluates a company’s level of commitment to the challenges of sustainable development and social responsibility. The result is based on more than 150 criteria, 32 of which are related to the environment, 42 regarding social engagement and 40 regarding corporate governance.
The overall score for Getlink is constantly improving and increased by 5 points in 2017 compared to 2016 and 11 points compared to 2015, allowing it to knock on the doors of the Top 20. Getlink ranks 22nd out of the 230 companies analyzed.
The Gaïa index, a reference in the field of Socially Responsible Investment, enables fund managers and analysts to identify the most responsible companies and to take account of non-financial criteria in their analysis and investment decisions.
Jacques Gounon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Getlink, stated: “Our strong positioning in the Gaïa index reflects in particular the quality of the Group's governance and has once again been welcomed by our stakeholders.”
