NEWSWEEK has published rankings of 500 companies scored according to green criteria, including environmental imapct score, green policies score, and green reputation score. Newsweek worked with with three research companies to compile the rankings incluidng KLD Research & Analytics, which tracks environmental, social and governance data on companies worldwide; Trucost, which specializes in quantitative environmental performance measurement; and CorporateRegister.com, the world's largest online directory of social responsibility, sustainability and environmental reporting.
The 500 companies included in the ranking are the largest U.S. companies as measured by revenue, market capitalization and number of employees.
The environmental impact score estimates the total cost of all environmental impacts of a corporation's global operations. The green policies score is an analytical assessment of a company's environmental policies and performance. The green reputation score is derived from an opinion survey of corporate social responsibility professionals, academics and other environmental experts. The overall Newsweek Green Score was calculated as the weighted sum of three Z-scores: 45 percent for the Environmental Impact Score, 45 percent for the Green Policies Score, and 10 percent for the Reputation Score.
