NYSE Euronext (NYX) announced that for the second consecutive year it has been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and the Carbon Disclosure Project's S&P 500 Leadership Index. In addition, the company's scores for both indexes improved year-over-year, reflecting NYSE Euronext's growing focus on corporate responsibility.

"These are two very important achievements for NYSE Euronext because they validate our core approach: running our business with the highest respect for the environment and for standards of transparency, citizenship and ethical practice," said CEO Duncan L. Niederauer. "My colleagues and I take these recognitions as a key measure of how well we perform our role in the global community we serve, and we will continue to aspire to do even more. As a global leader in the financial markets and technology space, we have a special obligation in the area of corporate responsibility." Niederauer added that inclusion in the two indexes illustrates both the environmental and broader aspects of this commitment.
