Fresenius Medical Care, the world’s leading provider of products and services for individuals with renal diseases, has entered the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index. Additionally, the company has been included for the 13th time in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) Europe. Fresenius Medical Care achieved an improved rating in most of the evaluated categories, and was awarded maximum scores for its environmental and social reporting. The company was also awarded significantly higher scores in the areas of occupational health and safety, talent attraction and retention, and customer relationship management.
