Over the past 12 months, Downer has improved our ratings in a number of important ESG analyst assessments, including the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) and Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). These rating tools are used by institutional investors to inform investment decisions based on a company’s sustainability performance, whereby the theory is the higher the sustainability performance the better the medium-term to long-term returns.
