Following its semi-annual review in September 2013, FTSE4Good has confirmed Ferrovial as a constituent of the indices, in which it has been included for nine years.
The company was chosen for its performance in the area of corporate responsibility. In this most recent review, 30 companies from nine countries were added to the indices, mostly from the US (11 companies), but also from Asia-Pacific (2 from South Korea and 1 from Japan); no Spanish companies joined the index this time. No companies were removed from the indices in the review. The changes were effective as from market close on 20 September 2013.
The FTSE4Good inclusion criteria have evolved over time in line with investor demands. Companies are evaluated continuously according to the following yardsticks: environmental management, climate change, human and labour rights, supply chain labour standards, and countering bribery.
These criteria are reviewed every six months (March and September). FTSE4Good comprises four benchmark indices: Global, European, United States and United Kingdom. The index is used by investors around the world to assess best practices and social responsibility criteria for the purpose of investment strategies.
