”Neste is strongly driven by its ambitious sustainability vision and climate commitments. This year's recognition of being again included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices verifies that we have made the right progress to become a global leader in renewable and circular solutions. Our people have fully taken charge of making this change happen, and we are very proud of this recognition, which is also highly valued by our stakeholders,” says Minna Aila, Senior Vice President, Sustainability and Corporate Affairs, Neste.
