SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, Nov. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- TE Connectivity, a world leader in connectivity and sensors, has been recognized for its efforts to be a good corporate citizen through positive environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) policies. The company has been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for the 10th consecutive year. TE was also ranked 18th among Investor's Business Daily's (IBD) 100 Best ESG Companies.

Each year, the Dow Jones Sustainability Index analyzes more than 8,000 companies around the world, reviewing their ESG performance. Companies that show strong commitment and progress toward strengthening their ESG performance are named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, which serves as a key reference point for investors. Similarly, IBD's Best 100 ESG Companies of 2021 mix profitability with ethical and social responsibility. To come up with this list, IBD first screened Dow Jones' ESG ratings, which included more than 6,000 companies.

"I'm proud that TE's ESG performance has been recognized by both the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and Investor's Business Daily as a 100 Best ESG Company," said CEO Terrence Curtin. "Both achievements align with our purpose to create a safer, more sustainable, productive and connected world.
