The company's scores in each dimension (economic, environmental, and social) are also in the 100th percentile for the industry. "We are honored to have again earned this recognition from the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices," said Chair and Chief Executive Officer Brian Chambers. "At Owens Corning, sustainability is core to who we are and how we operate. Continued inclusion in these indices is a clear reflection of the hard work of our global team as we continue to push ourselves to build upon our strong track record of performance to meet the needs of our customers, communities, and shareholders." "Earning a place on the DJSI for the 12th year in a row assures us that our sustainability efforts continue to be focused on the challenges and opportunities that matter most," added Senior Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer Frank O'Brien-Bernini. "The recently updated climate models, and the amplified calls for urgeny on climate action, reinforce our determination to improve faster as a company as we do our part to meet the needs of today and tomorrow."
