Recognised as a leader in the field of sustainability, International Personal Finance plc (‘IPF’) is delighted to announce it has been included in the FTSE4Good index for the sixth consecutive year following an analysis of its sustainability activities.
The assessment measures the environmental, social and governance performance of around 2,300 publicly listed companies worldwide. IPF received an overall score of 99 out of 100 (up from 96 last year) in the FTSE4Good ESG Ratings to rank amongst the best scoring financial services companies in the world.
The score would have seen IPF placed joint third amongst the world-wide supersector leaders had it been listed on the All World FTSE Index and in the FTSE4Good index series.
The FTSE4Good ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) Ratings are based on independent research, provide an objective measurement of how well a company manages its potential ESG risks and use clear, rules-based, and easy to apply methodologies.
Gerard Ryan, Chief Executive Officer said: “Our excellent performance in the FTSE4Good index reflects our commitment to sustainable growth by operating in a responsible and ethical manner. As a large and growing international business, it is critical we are transparent with all our stakeholders, treat them with respect and promote responsible business practices in every country where we operate.
“This achievement is great news for the business and reflects our continued focus, efforts and success in delivering sustainable growth. This is also good news for our customers who can look forward to being served by a sustainable and responsible business not only today, but well into the future.”
