Burberry achieves its highest score in Dow Jones Sustainability Index

Burberry has said it has achieved its highest score to date in the Dow
Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI), and marked the sixth consecutive year it
has been included in the index.

The British luxury label came in second place overall in the ‘Textiles,
Apparel & Luxury Goods’ sector while also securing leading positions in the
Product Stewardship and Social Reporting categories.

A trusted industry benchmark, the DJSI evaluates companies’ governance,
economic, environmental and social performance as well as their supply
chain management and climate change strategy.

Pam Batty, vice president of corporate responsibility at Burberry, said
in a statement: “I am proud that Burberry achieved its highest ever score
in the 2020 Dow Jones Sustainability Index. Product is at the very heart of
our business, so I am particularly pleased of our leadership position in
Product Stewardship, which recognises our progress in embedding sustainable
design and manufacturing practices to ensure our products make positive
social and environmental contributions.

“We believe ESG disclosure plays a key role in driving meaningful
change, through sharing our progress and best practice we can help drive
accountability, help others in our industry to improve and learn from our
peers to build a more sustainable future.”
