2020 designation recognizes company’s continued commitment to sustainability efforts
Kohl’s (NYSE: KSS) is proud to have been named to the 2020 Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) North America by S&P Global. This marks the third year in a row the
company has received the designation for its sustainability performance and environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments.
“The DJSI’s continued recognition of Kohl’s serves as a reliable indicator of the strength of our ESG stewardship initiatives,” said Steve Thomas, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer
for Kohl’s. “We believe that incorporating sustainable solutions into the way Kohl’s conducts business will help to build better futures for our customers, our associates, and their
families and we are pleased to be acknowledged for these efforts.”
Launched in 1999 as one of the first global sustainability benchmarks, the DJSI measures the performance of the world's leading companies based on financially material
environmental, social, and governance factors. The DJSI helps to evaluate a company’s impact on people, communities and the planet for socially-conscious investors.
“We congratulate Kohl’s for being included in the DJSI North America. A DJSI distinction is a reflection of being a sustainability leader in your industry. With a record number of
companies participating in the 2020 Corporate Sustainability Assessment and more stringent rules for inclusion this year, this sets your company apart and rewards your continued
commitment to people and planet,” said Manjit Jus, Global Head of ESG Research and Data, S&P Global.
Earlier this month, Kohl’s was also recognized with a SmartWay® 2020 Excellence Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as an industry leader in freight
supply chain, environmental performance and energy efficiency. Kohl’s was one of just 17 shipper and logistics companies to receive the distinction this year, in recognition of the
