                              Elekta recognized by CDP for environmental commitment

                              October 15, 2014
                              STOCKHOLM, October 15, 2014 – The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) recognizes Elekta for its actions to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the business risks of climate change. Elekta has therefore been awarded a position on The A List: The CDP Climate Performance Leadership Index 2014 (https://www.cdp.net/en-US/Pages/events/2014/cdp-leaders.aspx).

                              The index presents 187 listed companies identified as demonstrating a superior approach to climate change mitigation. It has been produced at the request of 767 investors who represent more than a third of the world’s invested capital by CDP, the international NGO that drives sustainable economies.

                              Niklas Savander, Elekta’s President and CEO, says: “We are delighted to be a leader in driving sustainable economies. This is one of many ways that Elekta demonstrates we care for life.”

                              Paul Simpson, chief executive officer of CDP, comments: “Global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise and we face steep financial risk if we do not mitigate them. The business case for action to mitigate climate change has never been stronger or more urgent. For this reason we congratulate those businesses that have achieved a position on The A List: The CDP Climate Performance Leadership Index. These companies are responding to market demand for environmental accountability and at the same time are making progress towards the realization of sustainable economies.”

                              Elekta was also recently added to the FTSE4Good Index Series. This is a set of indices defined by the FTSE that measures the performance of companies demonstrating strong environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices.
