Ahold Delhaize elevates its position as a world leader in the Dow
Jones Sustainability World Index
Zaandam, the Netherlands, 14 November, 2020 –
Ahold Delhaize announces today that it has elevated its position as
a world leader in the Food and Staples Retailing sector in the 2020
Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI
World). Ahold Delhaize improved its score with 14
points compared to the 2019 score, receiving 83 out of 100. This
score is well above the industry average of 31 points. This year
marks the fifth consecutive year the company has been ranked among
industry leaders.
The DJSI World benchmark cited Ahold Delhaize’s continued focus
on healthier eating as one of the contributors to the improved
score, along with the company’s efforts to further reduce its
climate impact. Examples are Ahold Delhaize’s Science Based Targets
to halve carbon emissions, as well as the company’s climate impact
scenarios. In addition, the continued efforts of the Ahold Delhaize
brands to improve their environmental, social and governance (ESG)
performance were crucial in improving this year’s score. “I’m
proud that our industry-leading work continues to be recognized by
the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index. This improved score is a
testament to the efforts and results of associates across Ahold
Delhaize who continue to integrate our healthy and sustainable
ambitions into all facets of our business,” Ahold Delhaize CEO
Frans Muller said. “The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the
importance of our commitments to enable healthier and more
sustainable diets, as well as in supporting our local communities.
We also believe that consumers want to increase their engagement
with companies who demonstrate strong values. Therefore, our
continued investments and initiatives to address this call to
action in ESG matters are a key priority at Ahold Delhaize. I would
also like to congratulate the other leaders in the World Index.
Let’s work together on our joint ambition toward a healthier
planet.”
The DJSI World tracks the performance of the world’s leading
companies against ESG criteria. It is an important barometer to
measure our performance and progress in these areas, not only in
our own operations but also with customers and in our supply
chain. For more information about Ahold Delhaize’s Healthy
