Index recognizes the company’s continued
commitment to corporate responsibility and sustainability.
Lincoln Financial Group (NYSE: LNC) today announced that the
company has been named to the prestigious Dow Jones Sustainability
Index (DJSI) North America for the eighth consecutive year by the
S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). This
index recognizes companies demonstrating leadership in
environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance and
signifies Lincoln Financial’s continued commitment to corporate
responsibility and sustainability.
More than 13,000 companies are invited to participate in the CSA
every year, but only 3,500 of the largest companies globally are
eligible for inclusion on any DJSI. It tracks the performance of
the top 20% of the 600 largest North American companies in the
S&P Global Broad Market Index that led in the field in terms of
sustainability. This year, Lincoln Financial ranked in the top
quartile among North American insurance companies in several
categories in the assessment, including Risk and Crisis Management,
Business Ethics, Transparency and Reporting and Privacy
Protection.
“We are so proud to be recognized by the prestigious Dow Jones
Sustainability Index for North America for the eighth consecutive
year,” said Amber Williams, Chief Sustainability Officer, Lincoln
Financial Group. “At Lincoln, sustainability has been anchored into
our strategy for decades. We continue to help Americans attain
financial security while doing our part to make a positive impact
for people and the planet.”
Lincoln remains committed to continuously evolving the quality
and scope of its reporting. In 2022, the company achieved its
targets on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and made significant
progress on expanding Scope 3 emissions reporting and calculations
on categories with readily available emissions data. Lincoln also
recently became a proud member of the United Nations-supported
Principles for Responsible Investments (UN PRI), pledging to
incorporate the UN PRI’s six principles for responsible investment
into our investment and management practices to foster a more
sustainable global economy.
