(MOL, President: Koichi Muto) today announced that the company has once again been selected for inclusion in the major socially responsible investing (SRI) indices – the Dow Jones Sustainability Asia Pacific Index (DJSI Asia/Pacific) and FTSE4Good Global Index.

This month, the FTSE Group, a joint company of the Financial Times and the London Stock Exchange, announced its selections for the FTSE4Good Global Index, and U.S.-based Dow Jones named companies for the DJSI Asia/Pacific Index, after a thorough assessment process.
