GM is the only automotive company on the North American index; the Dow Jones Sustainability Index is the world’s most respected benchmark for corporate responsibility, and GM’s score has risen by an impressive five points this year thanks to higher rankings in 14 of 22 categories.
It boasts perfect scores in climate strategy and brand management, and high scores in materiality and human rights. Last year the company joined the UN Global Compact, which pledges to support and promote the compact’s 10 principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption.
