The 2006 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World listing was released today in Davos, Switzerland by Corporate Knights and Innovest Strategic Value Advisors, along with a benchmarking study demonstrating Global 100 outperformance of 7.11% against the MSCI World Index.
Innovest Chief Executive Dr. Matthew Kiernan, said: "Global companies' performance on ESG (environmental, social, and governance) issues is rapidly becoming more critical to their competitiveness, profitability, and share price. The Global 100 companies showcased here today have already demonstrated that sustainability premium, and we believe that they are positioned to reward their investors even more heavily in the future."
Toby Heaps, Founder and Editor of Corporate Knights Magazine, announced the 2006 results, adding, "By whittling down over 1800 firms from around the world to just the top 100 sustainability performers, the Global 100 helps to separate the sustainability pretenders from the sustainability contenders."
