In 2009, for the ninth year in succession, SKF was independently assessed according to the FTSE4Good criteria and has satisfied the requirements for remaining part of the FTSE4Good Index Series.

“We are very happy to once again be included in the FTSE4Good Index,” says SKF President and CEO Tom Johnstone. “Our organization is committed to exercising daily care for our business, the environment, our employees and for the communities where we operate. We call this SKF Care, and it is our guiding light for securing long-term sustainable success.”

FTSE4Good is a financial index series created by the British FTSE Group. The index series is designed to identify and facilitate investment in companies that meet globally recognized corporate responsibility standards. The FTSE Group states that companies in the index series are doing more to manage their social, ethical and environmental impact and are better-positioned to capitalize on the benefits of responsible business practice.
