In order to be included in the Yearbook, companies must be in the top 15% of their industry and achieve an S&P Global ESG score that is within 30% of the best in their sector. Siemens Gamesa ranks 4th of 409 companies within the Machinery and Electrical Equipment industry with an overall ESG rating score of 79/100. Moreover, the company is an index component of the Dow Jones Sustainability World and Europe Indexes.
The 2021 edition of the Yearbook is the result of the analysis of 61 different industries and a detailed assessment of over 7,000 companies, for which over 7 million data points were collected. The results of this assessment help investors identify companies that are optimally addressing the opportunities and risks of the global sustainability challenge.
