TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – Canadian diversified miner Teck Resources has been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI) for the sixth consecutive year, placing the company’s sustainability practices in the top 10% of the 2 500 largest companies in the Standard & Poor’s Global Broad Market Index.

"We know that the success of our business is dependent on our ability to develop resources in a way that is responsible and sustainable for communities and the environment. That is why we continue to integrate social, economic and environmental performance into every decision we make, even during current challenging market conditions,” Teck president and CEO Don Lindsay stated.

Teck was named to the DJSI based on an in-depth analysis of economic, social and environmental performance. The company received the highest possible score in areas including biodiversity and asset closure management, and scored the highest in the industry in talent attraction and retention and operational eco-efficiency.

Earlier this year, Teck was ranked as one of the global 100 most sustainable corporations by media and investment research firm Corporate Knights for the third consecutive year and was the top-ranked mining company worldwide and the second-ranked Canadian company on the list. For the third straight year, Teck was also named one of the best 50 corporate citizens in Canada by Corporate Knights and one of the top 50 socially responsible corporations in Canada by global responsible investment research firm Sustainalytics, based on a range of measures including key social and environmental indicators.
