GEA Group will again be a constituent of the prestigious Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSWI) in 2025, marking its second consecutive year on the list. The company is the only German representative in the Machinery and Electrical Equipment Industry on the index. Additionally, GEA will continue its inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Europe Index (DJSEI) for the third year in a row.
This recognition follows GEA’s significant improvement in its Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) score, conducted by S&P Global, which is used as the basis for DJSWI inclusion. CEO Stefan Klebert emphasized that the company’s commitment to sustainability has been a long-term priority, helping it achieve a strong position in these indices.
GEA’s score of 78 out of 100, an increase of three points from the previous year, places the company in the top 10% of its industry worldwide. The company excelled in categories such as water, energy, transparency, and reporting, and made notable strides in risk management, information security, and climate strategy. GEA’s Climate Transition Plan 2040 was also a key contributor to its strong performance.
In addition to its DJSWI and DJSEI listings, GEA has earned high marks for its ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) efforts. The company is included in the DAX 50 ESG Index, received an “A” rating for climate activities from CDP, and earned an “AAA” in MSCI ESG Ratings. Furthermore, it was named one of the world’s 500 most sustainable companies by TIME Magazine and Statista, ranking 33rd globally and 3rd in Germany.
