Legal note about Criteria CaixaCorp
Corporate information
Criteria CaixaCorp is committed to combining the financial success of the company with sustainable development, which means taking decisions based not only on financial criteria, but also on the social and environmental consequences of our actions.
It is a voluntary initiative that goes above and beyond legal and statutory requirements. We must endeavour at all times to raise the awareness and commitment of our employees and directors as regards the correct application of the rules governing business ethics and integrity in all the business we undertake.
We subscribe to the principles of the OECD and the United Nations Global Compact, and we highlight our commitment to contributing to this joint effort.
Moreover, our vocation to serving society - a long-standing hallmark of "la Caixa" and part of our identity - is reflected in our activities, as we help basic services companies grow and contribute value for the benefit of society.
Criteria included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) and FTSE4Good, the leading global rankings of companies that apply best practices in relation to corporate responsibility, and an index that values financial performance as well as the environmental and social dimensions of business management, bears witness to the company’s commitment to sustainability and corporate reputation, in both its daily business and the investments it has made.
In our capacity as owner, we ensure that the companies we participate in work responsibly and ethically, with each one of them being able to identify, for their specific business, the approach they are to take to bring about responsible management.
As a company committed to full and transparent disclosure of its activities, Criteria is particularly pleased to announce in its annual report 2009 its A+ rating by from the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
