Fielmann Group awarded C+ Prime Status ESG rating in the Healthcare category

ISS ESG, one of the most renowned rating companies for sustainable and responsible investments, has awarded the Fielmann Group a Prime Status ESG rating in the Healthcare category in an update published on October 8, 2024. Fielmann Group, a global provider of eyewear, acoustics and primary eyecare services, improved its ratings in all three categories (Environmental, Social, and Governance), compared with previous years, and for the first time earned a C+ Prime Status in the Healthcare category.

A Prime Status ESG rating is a prerequisite for many sustainability-focused funds to invest in shares and thus enables a broader group of investors to invest in Fielmann shares.

Fielmann also achieved a decile rank of 2 in the Healthcare category, which indicates its performance compared to other companies in the sector. A decile rank of 1 indicates a high relative performance, while a 10 indicates a low relative performance.

"The Fielmann Group is a family business. Long-term success is only possible in a healthy society and a sustainable environment. Fielmann assumes responsibility for its customers, employees, society as well as the environment. We are delighted that our commitment to sustainability has been recognized and acknowledged," said CFO Steffen Baetjer about the award.
