- FTSE4Good is a series of indexes calculated in real time and conceived to measure the performance of « socially responsible » companies. The criteria of the FTSE4Good indexes are of an environmental, social, and ethical nature.
- The Carbon Disclosure Project reunites the largest institutional investors on a global scale and counts for 385 signatories. The objective is to evaluate the impact of climate change on company value by compiling data from the world’s top-rated companies’ strategies in terms of carbon emissions.
Besides, in June 2008, Vivendi was ranked by Goldman Sachs among the three European media-sector companies best positioned to develop a competitive advantage based on a combination of three factors: return on investment, strategic positioning, and performance in the area of sustainable development. The GS Sustain Focus List was created in 2007 with the goal of identifying companies in the best position in terms of the structural evolution of their sectors.
