The Go-Ahead Group recognised with FTSE4GOOD award
Go-Ahead has been recertified with the FTSE4Good accreditation. This independently recognises the continuing positive progress in the company’s sustainability agenda.
The company has held the accreditation since 2012, appraising its work to proactively engage with stakeholders and respond positively to their concerns and aspirations in order to find mutually beneficial outcomes.
Group Chief Executive, David Brown, said: “I am pleased we have been reaccredited by FTSE4Good. It recognises our commitment to running our businesses in a way that delivers long term value to all our stakeholders.
“Environmental wellbeing is key to our strategy and we are part of the solution in reducing congestion and improving air quality. We operate the largest electric bus fleet in Europe and have achieved 10% carbon emissions reduction ahead of our three-year target.”
The FTSE4Good Series is designed to help investors integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into their investment decisions. The indices identify companies that better manage ESG risks and are used as a basis for tracker funds, structured products and as a performance benchmark. The ESG ratings are used by investors who wish to incorporate ESG factors into their investment decision making processes, or as a framework for corporate engagement and stewardship.
