World’s Greenest Companies

From IBM to Infosys, these are the most eco-conscious companies around the globe.

To compile Newsweek’s 2011 Green Rankings, we cut through the green chatter and compared the actual environmental footprint, management (policies, initiatives, controversies) and transparency of the biggest companies on the planet. We partnered with two leading environmental research organizations, Trucost and Sustainalytics to conduct this study, and the methodology was developed in consultation with an advisory panel of corporate sustainability experts. The result: the most comprehensive rankings available on this subject—the greenest among the world’s largest 500 companies.
