CHILE - Falabella was the only Chilean retail company selected to integrate the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World), which brings together the leading multinational listed companies in terms of sustainability, based on economic, social and environmental standards.

In the retail category, the firm ranked fourth worldwide.

Likewise, Falabella was selected to be part of the stock portfolios of other Dow Jones indexes, to which it was invited to participate, being the only Chilean company that is part of four indices: World, Emerging Markets, MILA Pacific Alliance and Chile.

In the social category, the company obtained the highest score in its industry and was the best evaluated globally. In this field, aspects such as human capital development, talent attraction and retention, social investment programs, human rights, among others, are measured.

The Chief Executive Officer of Falabella, Gaston Bottazzini, expressed that “being part of the DJSI World for the fourth consecutive year is a recognition to our management and a motivation to continue strengthening the commitment we have with all our stakeholders. There is still work to be done, so sustainability is one of the strategic pillars of each business unit that integrates Falabella”.

The DJSI, which is jointly developed by S&P Dow Jones Indices and the Swiss specialized firm RobecoSam, was born in 1999 and monitors the organizations progress in economic, social and environmental matters. This year, DJSI invited 3.517 companies from 61 industries in 47 countries, which obtained the best financial performance measured by market capitalization in the S&P Global Broad Market Index, to participate in their annual corporate sustainability assessment.
