Recognised as sustainability leader in the DJSI Index Europe

Oslo, 22 November 2021 - Adevinta is pleased to announce that it has been recognised as a sustainability leader within the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) Europe, ranking as one of only six companies recognised in the Media & Entertainment industry group. This achievement also makes Adevinta one of only three Norwegian companies to feature in the index.

Inclusion in the DJSI recognises Adevinta’s sustainability efforts, as the company focuses on becoming a more sustainable business and improving its disclosures across key ESG indicators.

Rolv Erik Ryssdal, Adevinta CEO, said: “We regularly evaluate our business according to the DJSI benchmark to ensure that ESG expectations of our stakeholders are communicated, understood and acted upon across the business. “Being recognised by DJSI Europe is a testament to Adevinta’s ongoing commitment to creating a more sustainable future. Our online classifieds marketplaces play a key role in the circular economy, and we focus on operating responsibly and providing a positive impact on the communities where we live and work.”

The Dow Jones Sustainability Index Europe is made up of European sustainability leaders that are identified by Standard & Poor (S&P) Global through the Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA).

Manjit Jus, Global Head of ESG Research, S&P Global said: "We congratulate Adevinta for being included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for Europe. A DJSI distinction is a reflection of being a sustainability leader in your industry. The record number of companies participating in the 2021 S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment is testament to the growing movement for ESG disclosure and transparency."
