Corporate Express Australia Limited continues to be a member company of the FTSE4Good Index, the responsible investment index calculated by global index provider FTSE Group. Being a constituent of the FTSE4Good Index Series, and thereby meeting an independent third party's required standards, demonstrates our corporate, social and environmental commitments.

 

Global investors are increasingly concerned with the management of environmental, social and ethical risks in their portfolios.  As a member of the FTSE4Good Index, we are demonstrating that we have policies and management systems in place to help address these risks. 

 

The FTSE4Good Index Series has been designed to measure the performance of companies that meet globally-recognised corporate responsibility standards and to facilitate investment in those companies.

 

To be eligible, companies must meet three standards:

 

These criteria are regularly revised through a widespread market consultation process to ensure that they continue to reflect standards of responsible business practice and developments in socially responsible investment. For example, since the index series was launched in July 2001, the environmental and human rights criteria have both been strengthened.

 

 

Our association with the FTSE Group, a world-leader in the creation and management of indices, demonstrates our focus on corporate social and environmental responsibility.

 

We understand that environmental and social issues associated with policy and practices can create financial, legal, operational and reputation risks. We have therefore developed a system to manage these risks and enable us to demonstrate our responsibility in a tangible way to investors, legislators, shareholders, our own employees, customers and the wider community.

 

This helps us achieve one of our key goals, that is to offer businesses a risk-free partnership. We are proud that the FTSE4Good Index Series recognises our achievements.
