SITC Selected for FTSE4Good Index Series
SITC International Holdings Company Limited (Stock Code: 01308.HK) announces it has been included in the FTSE4Good Index Series. Based on the FTSE Russell semi-annual review results for June 2026, the Company has been officially added to the index, with the adjustment taking effect on June 22, 2026.
Created by the global index and data provider FTSE Russell, the FTSE4Good Index Series is designed to measure the performance of companies demonstrating strong Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices. The FTSE4Good indexes are used by a wide variety of market participants to create and assess responsible investment funds and other products.
FTSE Russell evaluations are based on performance in areas such as Corporate Governance, Health & Safety, Anti-Corruption and Climate Change. Businesses included in the FTSE4Good Index Series meet a variety of environmental, social and governance criteria.
This inclusion marks a significant milestone in the Company's ESG development. To date, SITC has obtained four major international ESG recognitions: MSCI ESG A rating, S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook Top 5%, CDP Climate B, Water A-, Supply Chain A, and now the FTSE4Good Index, forming a rare sustainable development edge within the container shipping industry.
Core value of this inclusion for the Company:
1. Access to global sustainable long-term capital
The FTSE4Good Index serves as a core benchmark for European pension funds and overseas ESG-themed funds. Inclusion removes global funds’ investment restrictions, optimises the shareholder structure, and helps smooth shipping cycle fluctuations.
2. Enhanced competitiveness with global customers
High-quality clients treat ESG ratings and certifications as hard requirements in logistics bidding. This accreditation strengthens the company's competitive position and facilitates the development of reliable, long-term supply channels.
The Company will continue to refine its carbon reduction targets and comprehensive ESG management, steadily maintain its index eligibility, and leverage its full suite of international ESG qualifications to drive synergistic growth between business expansion and green sustainable development.
