Elcoteq Renews its Membership in the Kempen/SNS Smaller SRI Europe Index
HONG KONG, May 19 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Elcoteq SE (HEL: ELQAV) has renewed
its membership in the Kempen/SNS Smaller SRI (Socially Responsible Investment)
Europe Index. Elcoteq has been included in the index since its launch in
October 2003.
European companies that meet or exceed high ethical, social and
environmental performance standards are included in the Kempen SRI universe.
Elcoteq passed the exacting standards imposed after a thorough analysis, which
is based on the material published by the company and on an extensive
questionnaire.
The focus on corporate responsibility is being intensified by increasing
scrutiny from stakeholders, investors, customers, employers, governments and
the media alike. The level of responsibility demanded will only increase and,
according to Kempen, the level of Elcoteq s reporting shows that the company
is well placed for the future.
"Elcoteq has systematically developed its Corporate Responsibility
activities for several years. Recognition of our efforts is always an
important motivation for even further improvement", said Minna Aila, Director
