We were named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for 2018, the twelfth consecutive year. DJSI benchmarks sustainable best practices for investors, tracking performance by the world's leading companies in terms of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors. Company scores are based on management of ESG issues including corporate governance, risk management, branding and reputation, climate change mitigation, supply chain standards and labor practices. Our overall score puts us in the top 20% of companies operating in the North American natural gas and oil industry and earns us a place on the North American Index.
Our scores and ratings are important as they go into databases used by investors and financial institutions to compare ESG performance across companies.
