Fielmann Group awarded C+ Prime Status ESG rating in the Healthcare category
ISS ESG, one of the most renowned rating companies for sustainable and
responsible investments, has awarded the Fielmann Group a Prime Status ESG
rating in the Healthcare category in an update published on October 8, 2024.
Fielmann Group, a global provider of eyewear, acoustics and primary eyecare
services, improved its ratings in all three categories (Environmental,
Social, and Governance), compared with previous years, and for the first
time earned a C+ Prime Status in the Healthcare category.
A Prime Status ESG rating is a prerequisite for many sustainability-focused
funds to invest in shares and thus enables a broader group of investors to
invest in Fielmann shares.
Fielmann also achieved a decile rank of 2 in the Healthcare category, which
indicates its performance compared to other companies in the sector. A
decile rank of 1 indicates a high relative performance, while a 10 indicates
a low relative performance.
"The Fielmann Group is a family business. Long-term success is only possible
in a healthy society and a sustainable environment. Fielmann assumes
responsibility for its customers, employees, society as well as the
environment. We are delighted that our commitment to sustainability has been
recognized and acknowledged," said CFO Steffen Baetjer about the award.
