The evaluation process covered over 5000 of world’s largest and most influential companies, excluding the ones involved in non-sustainable industries like fossil fuels or deforestation.

Companies at the top of the list have committed to some of the most respected climate programs, including the 1.5°C target from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and have received high scores

from CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project). The methodology included a precise four-step process: Exclusion of Non-Sustainable Businesses, Commitment & Ratings, Reporting & Transparency, and Environmental & Social Stewardship. This comprehensive approach ensured that the companies identified are genuinely leading in sustainability efforts, evaluated on more than 20 key data points.
