UBM plc achieves FTSE4Good Index Status

UBM plc is pleased to announce its inclusion in the prestigious FTSE4Good Index. The Index is composed of global companies that stand out for their strong performance in environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices.

FTSE ESG Ratings provide the investment community with a tool for portfolio design and management to investigate ESG criteria, and as a framework to measure corporate engagement and stewardship.

UBM is particularly pleased to have achieved the highest possible score for Environmental practices, and to have also scored highly in the Governance section. 

Meanwhile, the Group continues to develop its sustainability agenda. A global UBM team supports and encourages local initiatives to help employees incorporate sustainability into their business decisions. This is accomplished by focusing on five key areas: people, customers, communities, environment and governance. Our ‘Events First’ strategy is underpinned by the core values of our employees, the UBM Commitments, and our sustainability agenda.
