Amadeus, the global distribution system (GDS) and technology provider serving the travel and tourism industries, today joins the Dow Jones ustainability World Index (DJSI World), the first global index tracking the performance of sustainability-driven companies. In addition, Amadeus has again been included in its Pan-European equivalent, the Dow Jones Sustainability STOXX (DJSI STOXX).
Both benchmarks are part of the Dow Jones Sustainability family of indexes, founded in 1999 and revised annually. Following the last revision recently completed, Amadeus is the only GDS represented in both DJSI World and DJSI STOXX in the Technology category. The revision is effective as of today, 20 September, and Amadeus joins over 300 companies from 24 countries represented in DJSI World and 167 companies from 13 countries represented in DJSI STOXX.
Inclusion in this index is determined according to a company’s corporate sustainability performance, as defined by the creators of the DJSI (Dow Jones Indexes, Stoxx Ltd., and SAM Group). Corporate sustainability is a business approach that creates long-term shareholder value by embracing opportunities and managing risks deriving from economic, environmental and social developments.
Jose Antonio Tazon, President and CEO of Amadeus, commented: “Being included in the global index is a further public recognition of our role within the global economy. The management and staff at Amadeus are proud to be the only travel IT provider included in the index. Our strategy and management strength have been – and will continue to be – key to maintaining this privileged position, which endorses our sustained efforts to create shareholder value and our total commitment to the travel industry”.
