LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–IHS

analytics and solutions, today announced it has been named – for the
fifth consecutive year – to the Dow
Jones Sustainability North America Index (DJSI) by RobecoSAM, a
globally renowned specialist in sustainability investing.

“Five straight years on this index is a great accomplishment and a
tremendous source of pride for me and our colleagues,” said Jerre Stead,
CEO and chairman of IHS Markit. “Being sustainable and profitable allows
us to do all the things we want for our customers, communities,
shareholders, colleagues and vendors and to be able to measure our
progress against the very best companies. I have great confidence that
IHS Markit will continue to excel in sustainability as we move forward
together.”

management and codes of business conduct and risk and crisis management.
The company also received high marks in “social dimension” areas such as
human capital development, talent attraction and retention, and
corporate citizenship and philanthropy.

“Our success as a company is very tightly linked to the future of the
world around us,” Stead said. “Sustainability is about all of us working
as one team with a sustainable mindset that solves problems for
customers, provides a great place for our colleagues, protects our
environment, and creates tangible value for society while delivering
strong, sustained shareholder returns.”
