Canadian media company Corporate Knights and investment research firm Innovest Strategic Value Advisors have named their fourth annual Global 100 list of the most sustainable large corporations in the world.
The companies – announced at the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos – are selected according to how effectively they manage environmental, social and governance risks and opportunities, relative to their industry peers.
“As global investors become increasingly concerned about economic prospects for 2008, we believe that the Global 100 will be particularly well positioned to weather the storm and deliver superior value to investors,” said Matthew Kiernan, CEO of Innovest, whose analysis underpins the list.
The full list is available here. It includes corporate responsibility stalwarts such as UK telecoms company BT, Japanese car maker Toyota, oil company Royal Dutch Shell, Danish healthcare firm Novo Nordisk and Australian bank Westpac.
