PORR AG - Industry leader in MSCI ESG rating

For the fourth time in a row, PORR has achieved a top value in the industry with an 'AA' rating from MSCI.

PORR was able to score particularly well with its services relating to sustainable infrastructure, recycling and remediation of contaminated sites.

'Transparency is essential in ESG reporting. As a construction company, we take our responsibility seriously and put our cards on the table. 'We are all the more pleased that MSCI confirms our leadership position compared to global competitors with this renewed 'AA',' says Karl-Heinz Strauss, CEO of PORR. In its regular ESG rating, the financial service provider MSCI measures the resilience of companies to ESG risks. In particular, measures in the areas of 'Opportunities in Clean Tech' as well as 'Health & Safety' and 'Governance' are examined.

MSCI particularly highlighted the area of ??corporate governance and PORR's efforts in matters of ethics and human rights: Here, the construction company has a robust set of rules with detailed guidelines against corruption and bribery, for example, and thus achieves the highest point range in the industry. And the measures relating to health and occupational safety also stand out from the competition thanks to their detailed targets. PORR was also able to score points in the 'Opportunities in Clean Tech' category with its broad service portfolio in the areas of environmental technology and green infrastructure. According to MSCI, these accounted for 23% of sales in the year under investigation - significantly higher than the industry average of 13%. 'The award underlines that we are on the right track with our Green and Lean strategy,' says Karl-Heinz Strauss.
