Gen Named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index 2022

NortonLifeLock, a leading Cyber Safety brand and part of Gen, has once again been listed on the Dow Joes Sustainability Index (DJSI), celebrating the Company’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) achievements on both the World and North America lists. It received its highest sustainability score, earning a score of 51 and ranking in the 97th percentile in the software category. 

“We are honored the Dow Jones Sustainability Index has again recognized our corporate citizenship efforts,” said Kim Allman, Head of Corporate Responsibility at Gen. “Our commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of our consumers, employees, and communities has never been stronger, and we are eager to continue to model social responsibility and accountability across our business.”  

The DJSI leverages a Corporate Sustainability Assessment to measure the top 10% of the largest 2,500 companies in the S&P Global Broad Market Index against long-term economic, environmental, and social criteria. Companies receive a score out of 100 based on global ESG practices, comparing numerous, varied industries on both financial and industry-specific criteria. 

In this year's analysis, impactful ESG activities contributed to its high rankling, with highlights including: 

• Philanthropy: We donated products to more than 9,300 nonprofits this year, from national organizations to local libraries, helping them keep their data safe and secure. These social responsibility efforts, along with our employee donation matching and volunteer programs, earned us a score of 44 in the social category, an increase of two points from 2021.   
• Environmental sustainability: We received 44 out of 100 in the environment category, a score that no doubt reflects reporting in alignment with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, climate risk assessment, and 39% Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions reduction over the past fiscal year. 
• Corporate Governance: We continue to disclose data on the racial and gender makeup of both our Board of Directors and our broader employee base. This transparency, along with our Codes of Conduct for our Company, our suppliers, and additional policies, was awarded a score of 62, an increase of two points from 2021.
