A new global business ranking - called the
Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World - was unveiled at the World Economic Forum, identifying the top 100 companies that are leading the way to a more sustainable world.
'Top 100' companies emerged from a pool of over 2,000 firms, representing such large global indices as the
S&P 500, MSCI World, FTSE 350 and Eurostoxx. Companies were selected on their ability to manage strategic opportunities in new environmental and social markets.
The top companies were rated on such criteria as strategic governance, environmental initiatives, and human capital/labour relation practices. Research was conducted by the leading environmental investment advisory firm offices in New York, London and Toronto.
