CORPORATE AND INVESTOR SUPPORT GROWS FOR JSE`S SRI INDEX
JOHANNESBURG, 30 November 2009 - The Johannesburg Stock Exchange announced the
results of the 2009 review of the Socially Responsible Investment Index this
morning. The changes will be reflected in the Index from start of business on
Wednesday 2 December 2009.
In the 2009 review of the SRI Index, which assesses the environmental, social
and economic sustainability practices and corporate governance of listed
companies -
- 67 of the 109 companies reviewed succeeded in becoming constituents of the
Index
- 30 companies were identified as best performers. That is, they meet all
relevant core requirements in the social, governance and environmental
areas, relative to their impact. Ten of these are best performers for the
first time.
Mining companies continue to be the largest represented sector within the Index.
This year for the first time all 14 mining companies that were assessed,
qualified. The financial sector also did well, as did general industrials.
The SRI Index - which in 2009 includes 34 Top 40 companies, 30 Mid-Caps and 3
Small Cap companies - recognises companies with good sustainability policies and
practices, demonstrating a high standard of reporting. The `automatic universe`
for 2009 - that is, the companies whose assessment is compulsory - consisted of
the FTSE/JSE Top 40 Index, 60 Mid Cap companies and the four Small Cap companies
from the 2008 SRI Index.
