Minor International Public : MINT INCLUDED IN FTSE4GOOD EMERGING INDEX

Minor International Public Company Limited ("MINT") announced today that it was among the first to be a constituent of the new FTSE4Good Emerging Index following its launch in December 2016. The Index is an extension to the FTSE4Good Index Series, which is designed to measure performance of companies demonstrating strong Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices. This highlighted the success of MINT's persistent efforts to drive sustainability best practices.

The FTSE4Good Series is designed to help investors integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into their investment decisions. The indexes identify companies that better manage ESG risks and are used as a basis for tracker funds, structured products and as a performance benchmark. The ESG Ratings are used by investors who wish to incorporate ESG factors into their investment decision making processes, or as a framework for corporate engagement and stewardship.

William E Heinecke, Chairman and Group CEO of MINT commented, "It is greatly rewarding to see that our sustainability efforts met all the stringent criteria and global standards. The FTSE4Good Emerging Index is a great testament to our commitment to drive sustainable development. We will continue to pioneer and strengthen our sustainability strategy and practices in order to improve the economic, social and environmental conditions of our stakeholders in the long term."
