Nachhaltigkeitsindex. Bene is the only new stock that was added to

social objectives - is becoming increasingly important to companies 
and investors as a factor of economic success", explains Frank 
Wiegmann, chairman of the executive board. On the Vienna Stock

strict criteria of the index dedicated to social and environmental 
issues. Ever since the launch of VÖNIX, the index has surpassed its 
benchmark - the ATX Prime - by more than 20.4 per cent: The ATX Prime
increased by 25.91 % between June 17, 2005 - June 17, 2008, while in 
the same period VÖNIX has increased by 46.27 %. This proves the 
success of companies that operate in a sustainable manner.
