Sonoco announced that for the second year in a row it has been selected to join the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World). DJSI World comprises the leading global companies in terms of economic performance, environmental stewardship and social responsibility. Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes are determined following an annual review by SAM, an investment boutique focused on sustainability investing, together with Dow Jones Indexes.
"We are very pleased to be one of only two U.S.-based containers and packaging companies to make this elite group of DJSI World companies. It recognizes the importance Sonoco places on being a leader in sustainable packaging and provider of recycling services to many of the largest consumer brands in the world," said Harris E. DeLoach Jr., chairman, president and chief executive officer.
