News Releases/Ad hoc

FRA/rap> SAM Group of Zurich, a leading asset manager for sustainability investments, and PricewaterhouseCoopers have included Fraport AG for the first time in the Sustainability Yearbook 2008 – which has been issued for the fourth time on the occasion of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.  The publication is considered the world's most  comprehensive reference work for rating stock-listed companies according to their economic, ecological and societal success factors.  For example, topics range from dealing with climate change and resource scarcity to new energy technologies and human capital management. 

Every year since 1999, SAM has been evaluating the sustainability of corporate policy for more than 1,000 companies in 57 industry sectors.  The analysis also identifies which companies outperform their competitors in terms of efficiency and success of handling risks and opportunities related to the economic, ecological and societal  challenges of sustainability.  Only the top 15 percent of the evaluated companies in each industry sector make it into the Sustainability Yearbook. 

For the first time, the best companies represented in the yearbook have also received citations of excellence:  In the  industrial transportation sector, Fraport AG received the "SAM Bronze Class 2008" title.

The Fraport Share was already listed in 2006 on the Dow Jones STOXX Sustainability Index (DJSI STOXX) and the FTSE4Good-Index.  In 2007, the company's listing on both of these indices was reconfirmed and the Fraport Share was also placed on the DJSI World Index.

Further details and a summary of the companies listed in the Sustainability Yearbook 2008 are available on the Internet at: www.sam-group.com/yearbook.
