European companies that meet or exceed high ethical, social and environmental performance standards are included in the Kempen SRI universe. Elcoteq passed the exacting standards imposed after a thorough analysis, which is based on the material published by the company and on an extensive questionnaire.
The focus on corporate responsibility is being intensified by increasing scrutiny from stakeholders, investors, customers, employers, governments and the media alike. The level of responsibility demanded will only increase and, according to Kempen, the level of Elcoteq′s reporting shows that the company is well placed for the future.
