second consecutive year, performing in the top 1% of companies in
the software industry

- Achievements cap a year of improvements in Dassault
Systèmes’ ongoing commitment to its environmental, social and

Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: FR0014003TT8, DSY.PA) today
announced that it achieved the top scores in the leading global
environmental, social and governance ratings in 2022, capping a
year of milestones and improvements in the company’s ESG
performance.
For the second consecutive year, Dassault Systèmes was included
in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI), placing in the top 1%
of rated companies in the software sector and ranking fourth out of
332. This performance in one of the world’s foremost assessments of
the sustainability practices of global companies in terms of ESG
and economic criteria marked an eight-point gain over 2021, with
the greatest progress in the innovation management, environmental
policy and management systems, and human capital development
topics.
In addition to its ranking in the DJSI, Dassault Systèmes
received an MSCI ESG “AAA” rating for the first time, recognizing
it as a “leader” in the software and services industry. MSCI ESG
Ratings aim to measure a company's resilience to long-term ESG
risks. The AAA rating, upgraded from AA in 2021, was achieved based
on the company’s robust business ethics framework and its focus on
talent retention and development.
Other 2022 achievements include a “Platinum Medal” rating from
EcoVadis based on an assessment of environment, labor and human
rights issues, and ethics and sustainable procurement criteria. The
company also maintained its inclusion in the Euronext Eurozone ESG
Index (Large 80) based on its sixth place ranking in the software
sector by Vigeo Eiris, as well as in the FTSE4Good Index.
“ESG reporting is a key area of focus for Dassault Systèmes. We
recognize its importance for our ambition to become the trusted and
leading partner for reinventing a sustainable economy through our
own business practices and human resources, as well as through the
virtual twin experiences we enable for more than 300,000 customers
in 12 industries worldwide,” said Florence Verzelen, Executive Vice
President, Industry, Marketing and Sustainability, Dassault
Systèmes. “We will further this year’s achievements by continuing
to drive sustainability awareness, solutions and engagement inside
our company with our employees at the core as well as at our
customers and among our global ecosystem. Every action we take
aligns with our corporate purpose to harmonize product, nature and
life.”
In addition to its ESG achievements, Dassault Systèmes
reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability in 2022 by launching
its life cycle assessment solution on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to
enable customers to measure the environmental impacts of their
products and processes; by appointing Philippine de T’Serclaes its
Chief Sustainability Officer, and by signing the Action Declaration
on Climate Policy Engagement and the “All In” statement during
COP27.
