• Leonardo achieved the highest score in the AD&S sector, further strengthening its ESG leadership and standing out significantly from its assessed international peers

For the sixteenth consecutive year, Leonardo has been confirmed in the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Indices (DJ BIC) 2026, among the most authoritative international stock market indices selecting companies with the best environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance. This recognition further consolidates the Group’s positioning among the global leaders in the Aerospace, Defence & Security (AD&S) sector, in a context marked by increasingly stringent ESG assessment standards.

Leonardo has been included in both the DJ BIC World and the DJ BIC Europe indices, among the 350 leading companies at global level. In the AD&S sector, 5 companies are included in the DJ BIC World and 4 in the DJ BIC Europe, confirming the highly selective nature of these indices.

Admission to the indices is based on the results of the Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), conducted annually by S&P Global, which evaluates more than 12,000 companies worldwide according to a best-in-class approach. In the latest CSA, Leonardo achieved the highest score in the AD&S sector, with 83 out of 100, standing out significantly from its assessed international peers. Inclusion in the DJ BIC represents a particularly significant achievement and highlights Leonardo’s progress in strengthening sustainability as a strategic driver of competitiveness, innovation and resilience.

This latest positive assessment by S&P Global adds to other milestones recently achieved by Leonardo in the main international ESG ratings. These include Sustainalytics, which improved Leonardo’s ESG Risk Rating reducing it to 22 out of 100 from 29 out of 100; CDP, formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project, which included Leonardo in the “A list”, recognising its leadership in addressing climate change; and ISS ESG, which confirmed Leonardo’s Prime Status and upgraded its rating from C+ to B- (on a scale from D- to A+). These results confirm the Company’s effective management of ESG risks and opportunities, and its growing alignment with the expectations of institutional investors and financial markets over the medium to long term.
