MILFORD,
Mass., Dec. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Waters
Corporation (NYSE: WAT) announced it has been named to the Dow
Jones Sustainability North America Index (DJSI North America) for
the fourth consecutive year, based on the strength of its
enterprise-wide sustainability practices. The DJSI is informed by
the annual evaluation by the S&P Global Corporate
Sustainability Assessment (CSA).
Waters has been named to the DJSI with a
ranking that surpasses industry averages across all sustainability
categories.
"We are pleased that Waters has once again been named to the
DJSI for our ongoing progress towards our commitment to
sustainability. In 2023, we achieved our greenhouse gas
reduction target two years early and made meaningful strides in
advancing STEM education," said Dr. Udit
Batra, President and CEO, Waters Corporation. "We are
honored by Waters inclusion in the DJSI, which highlights our
strong commitment to sustainability and a ranking that surpasses
industry averages across all sustainability categories."
Waters recently highlighted its progress on reducing its
environmental impact, becoming more representative of the society
we live in, and continuing to enhance our long-term stakeholder
value with good governance and effective oversight in its 2024
report. Waters has also committed to setting science-based emission
reduction targets aligned with the Science Based Targets
initiative's (SBTi) criteria for a 1.5°C future.
The Company continuously reiterates its commitment to improving
the world through investing in initiatives that reduce the overall
environmental footprint and positively impact the communities in
which it works. After building the first and only Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-certified chemical
manufacturing facility in Massachusetts in 2022, the Company recently
opened a 45,000 square foot manufacturing facility at the
Longbridge Business Park in the West
Midlands, UK. The building was constructed to BREEAM Very
Good standard and achieved an Energy Performance Certificate rating
of "A."
The DJSI is based on the completion of an annual evaluation of
sustainability practices via the S&P Global CSA, that covers
over 13,000 companies from around the world that are assessed on
sustainability criteria that are both industry-specific and
financially material.
