US: For the sixth year in a row, Owens Corning has earned placement in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) in recognition of its sustainability initiatives.
For the third straight year, Owens Corning was named the Industry Leader for the DJSI World Building Products group. The DJSI World is a listing of the world's largest companies based on long-term economic, environmental and social criteria.
"We are honoured to have earned placement again in 2015," said chairman and CEO Mike Thaman. "Our people and products make the world a better place. That simple and powerful purpose defines Owens Corning today, as well as the company we are building for the future."
"Continuing our steady progress toward shrinking our environmental footprint, we are even more energised as we expand our impact through our positive handprint," said chief sustainability officer Frank O'Brien-Bernini. "Collaborating up and down the value chain, we make buildings more energy-efficient, roofs more durable and resistant to extreme weather, cars more fuel-efficient, renewable energy more cost-effective and our company a better corporate citizen."
