FILA Holdings Corp. secured a spot in the FTSE4Good Index Series, marking the Korean sportswear maker’s first entry into the global sustainability benchmark that tracks companies with strong environmental, social and governance practices.
The company joins 23 other retailers worldwide that met FTSE Russell’s criteria spanning corporate governance, climate action and anti-corruption measures. FILA particularly excelled in supply chain oversight, surpassing industry averages in monitoring partner compliance with its code of conduct.
The index inclusion follows FILA’s recent sustainability push, including becoming the first South Korean fashion company to support the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures. The company has maintained a “Low Risk” ESG rating from Sustainalytics and joined the UN Global Compact in 2021.
FTSE Russell evaluated about 8,000 companies across more than 300 metrics for the 2024 index, ultimately selecting 1,119 firms. The index is widely used by investors to assess responsible investment opportunities and construct ESG-focused portfolios.
FILA operates dedicated teams to manage supply chain risks related to human rights, safety standards and environmental compliance among its business partners.
