Business Wire
WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE: WNS), a leading provider of global
Business Process Management (BPM) solutions, today announced that
the company has received the highest overall score in Cowen &
Company’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) assessment for
covered companies in Business Services. The Cowen report evaluates
19 public companies spread across four sectors including
Multinational IT services, Digital Services, BPO/BPM, and Human
Capital Management. WNS received an ESG score of 81, the highest of
all ranked companies and well above the group average of 61.
The ESG assessment combines Cowen’s proprietary research,
insights and analysis with technology and data powered by Truvalue
Labs, a FactSet company. Truvalue uses artificial intelligence to
capture external stakeholders’ views of company performance on key
ESG metrics, applying the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board
(SASB) materiality framework. Companies are scored on a scale of 0
to 100, with an ESG score of 50 representing a “neutral” impact,
and ratings above 50 indicating a positive bias.
“WNS is excited to be recognized by Cowen for our efforts across
key ESG categories,” said Keshav R. Murugesh, Group CEO, WNS. “As
an organization, we understand that integrating ESG programs into
our strategic plans and company goals is critical to delivering
sustainable value for our clients, employees, investors and the
communities in which we live and work.”
WNS views sustainability and ESG programs as key components of
delivering long-term value to all of our key stakeholders. The
company is committed to driving continuous improvement across these
three pillars, and to our mission of “co-creating” and
“outperforming” in everything we do. WNS recently released our
first-ever public corporate sustainability report. The FY 2020-21
Sustainability Report, titled “Powered by Digital: Co-Create.
Sustain. Outperform”, details WNS’ efforts across a broad spectrum
of ESG topics. The report can be found here or on the company
