The company Pelion Healthcare Group, listed on the WSE since 1998 (listed as PGF until December 2011), currently participating in the sWIG80 index, has joined the Warsaw Stock Exchange responsible companies index for the first time.

The company Kredyt Bank left the RESPECT Index portfolio in early January 2013 as the company was delisted following its merger with Bank Zachodni WBK.

“More than four years since the creation of the RESPECT Index project, the exchange has an established group of leaders – companies which participate in subsequent editions of the project. More importantly, however, new companies are joining the project without any additional encouragement. In our opinion, this is the greatest success of the initiative: companies themselves see and understand the importance of good relations with stakeholders,” said Tomasz Wiśniewski, Chairman of the WSE’s Exchange Indices Committee.
