GENEVA, Switzerland – September 26, 2019 – Temenos AG (SIX: TEMN), the banking software company, today announced that it is ranked in the top 10% of world leaders in the 2019 Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI). The DJSI World is considered a gold standard for measuring environmental, social and governance (ESG) corporate practices. It represents the top 10% of the 2,500 largest companies in the S&P Global Broad Market Index (BMI).

Out of 64 invited software companies, Temenos was recognized as fifth out of global software leaders in the DJSI World. Temenos had the highest industry score (100%) for information security/cybersecurity and system availability and environmental policy and management system. The industry average was 15%.

This recognition is a result of Temenos’ commitment to achieving business excellence and long-term value, while operating responsibly and with integrity, honoring ethical values and respecting its stakeholders, local communities and the environment.

The DJSI World was the first global index to track the largest and leading sustainability-driven publicly listed companies. This year, more than 4,500 global companies across 61 industries were invited to participate in the evaluation process. This underscores the fact that corporate ESG performance disclosures have become a necessity in meeting mainstream investors’ expectations. The DJSI is published by S&P Dow Jones Indices, one of the world’s leading index providers, together with RobecoSAM, which specializes in ESG data and benchmarking.
