In recognition of Shangri-La Asia Limited’s corporate sustainability leadership, the company has been listed in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI). It is the only hotel group to be included in the index component within Asia Pacific and it is the first time Shangri-La has been made a constituent.
Launched in 1999, the DJSI tracks the financial performance of leading sustainability-driven companies worldwide. The annual DJSI, compiled by Dow Jones and RobecoSAM Group, assess a company’s corporate sustainability performance from economic, environmental, and social development aspects.
This year, DJSI reviewed 2,500 companies around the world and 333 companies, including Shangri-La, were selected to the DJSI world Index. Selections were made based on a best-in-class approach. Shangri-La’s consistent inclusion in the Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Index in Hong Kong since 2011 has also affirmed its environmental, social responsibility, and corporate governance performance.
Sustainability, Shangri-La’s social responsibility campaign, provides the framework for the company’s CSR initiatives. Two flagship projects have been launched since 2009. Embrace, Shangri-La’s Care for People Project, aims to promote the highest level of education and health support in underprivileged communities, while Sanctuary, Shangri-La’s Care for Nature Project, promotes the conservation and restoration of biodiversity in key destinations.
