TOP GLOVE THE ONLY MALAYSIAN COMPANY IN 2020 DOW JONES SUSTAINABILITY INDICES & GARNERS TOP HONOURS AT 2020 NATIONAL ENERGY AWARDS

Shah Alam, Monday, 23 November 2020 For the 2nd year running, Top Glove has been listed on the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) under the Emerging Markets category. The world’s largest manufacturer of gloves is also the only Malaysian company to be listed on the 2020 DJSI.

This is a testament to the company’s good practices in the Economic, Environmental and Social (EES) space. Top Glove ranks 13th out of a total of 73 healthcare companies across all DJSI indices, outperforming 83% of its industry peers. This is a further improvement over last year’s performance when it was ranked 15th out of 44 healthcare companies across all DJSI indices, outperforming 67% of its industry peers.

The DJSI Emerging Markets Index tracks the sustainability performance of the top 10% largest Emerging Markets companies on the S&P Global Broad Market Index and serves as a key reference point for investors and companies alike.

Top Glove also earned another feather in its cap when its Factory 29 (F29) emerged as winner in the 2020 National Energy Awards (NEA), under Category 1 (Large Industries).

Organised by the Malaysian Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (KeTSA), the 2020 Awards recognises the efforts of companies in furthering the nation’s progress towards a more sustainable future.

F29 earned its win at the Awards for its efforts in energy saving; reduction in carbon dioxide emissions; reduction in water usage; its commitment to utility saving initiatives, with good future planning of similar initiatives for the future years; and innovative and novel utility saving projects implemented.

The aforementioned initiatives are also being rolled out across the company’s existing glove factories and will be fully implemented at all new glove factories in future.
