PIRELLI: ‘SUSTAINABILITY YEARBOOK 2010′, WORLD SECTOR LEADER FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW

The ‘2010 Sustainability Yearbook’ not only places Pirelli as ‘Sector Leader’ and ‘Gold Class Company’ in the ‘Autoparts and Tyres’ sector for the third year in a row, but also awards the company, for the first time, the title of  ‘Sector Mover’ thanks to further significant growth in terms of sustainable performance. Pirelli has thus obtained all three of the prestigious top titles, confirming its leadership in sustainability in its industry both at worldwide level and in Italy.
Edited by SAM Group, the Swiss Asset Manager responsible for the evaluations for admission to the Dow Jones sustainability indices, and by PriceWaterhouseCoopers, the ‘Sustainability Yearbook’ is considered the most complete and authoritative publication in the world on trends and corporate performance in terms of sustainability.

PIRELLI WORLD SUSTAINABILITY LEADER

For the second year in succession, Pirelli has become the world champion of sustainability in the ‘Auto Parts and Tyre’ sector.

This prestigious position has been confirmed once again by the Sam Group (Sustainable Asset Management), the world’s leading company in analysis for investment. Pirelli is shown as being in the first place overall in the ‘auto accessories and tyre’ section of the ’2009 Sustainability Yearbook’.

Important recognition for Pirelli, considering that this year’s 10th edition of the SAM Sustainability Yearbook is the most complete and authoritative publication in the world on sustainability trends and company performance. Of the 1,000 multinationals analysed, 357 were promoted in sustainability, indexed in 57 different sectors of business.

As well as the title ‘Sector Leader’, Pirelli has also received the honour of ‘Gold Class Company’ for scoring the highest number of points in the SAM Group’s severe evaluation.
