The ranking is based on a rigorous assessment of 6 720 companies with more than $1-billion in revenues.
The Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations direct nearly seven times more capital into sustainable investment as a percentage of total investments, compared with companies on the blue-chip benchmark MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI), which provides a broad measure of global equity market performance.
