To produce the 2010 Green Rankings, NEWSWEEK collaborated with MSCI ESG Research—a leading source of environmental, social, and governance ratings—which served as lead research organization; Trucost, which specializes in quantitative measurements of environmental performance; CorporateRegister.com, the world’s largest online directory of social responsibility, sustainability, and environmental reports; and our editorial partner, ASAP Media. The goal was to assess each company’s actual environmental footprint and management of that footprint (including policies and strategies), along with its reputation among environmental experts.
COMPANIES WE RANKED
The U.S. 500 list includes the largest publicly traded U.S. companies, and the Global 100 list (new this year) includes the largest publicly traded companies based in developed and emerging markets. A number of U.S.-based companies appear on both lists. Company size was evaluated according to revenue (most recent fiscal year), market capitalization, and number of employees, all as of March 31, 2010. Changes resulting from various corporate actions, such as mergers, were taken into account until July 1, 2010, when the company lists were finalized to allow time for the rankings to be calculated and compiled.
