Brambles Rranked #1 in Dow Jones Sustainability World Index

Sydney, December 2022 – Brambles, parent company of CHEP, has been ranked best performer for Commercial Services & Supplies in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI). It marks the company’s ninth consecutive year of inclusion in the coveted  DJSI World Index, and its first as a DJSI Industry Leader.

Representing the gold standard for corporate sustainability measurement, the DJSI was the first global index to benchmark the sustainability performance of leading companies based on analysis of financially material Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors.

Scoring 81/100 against an industry average of 23/100, Brambles’ top rating recognizes the depth and breadth of the company’s sustainability program, based on three core pillars of “Planet Positive,” “Business Positive,” and “Communities Positive.”

Brambles received top industry scores across most assessment categories, notably attaining maximum points for Environmental Reporting and Social Reporting, demonstrating industry best-practice. Brambles also outperformed industry peers in the Business Ethics category due to a strong Code of Conduct and associated supply chain due diligence program.

With a low carbon circular business model and an ambitious decarbonization program, Brambles placed in the 99th percentile for Climate Strategy. Brambles has a strong record of delivering against targets and, since 2020, has achieved a 4.5% reduction in supply chain emissions across the entire value chain (Scopes 1, 2 and 3) and recently presented a new roadmap to meet net-zero emissions by 2040.
