The Newsweek Green Rankings 2010: Global 100 List and U.S. 500 List
Geschreven op 22-10-2010 - Erik van Erne. Geplaatst in Niet gecategoriseerd
Newsweek ranked the biggest publicly traded companies in developed and emerging world markets. Because a global ranking includes U.S. companies, some appear on both the U.S. 500 and the Global 100 lists.
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.
Companies on each list— the the U.S. 500 list and Global 100 list —are ranked by their overall Green Score. This score is derived from three component scores: the Environmental Impact Score (EIS), the Green Policies Score (GPS), and the Reputation Survey Score (RSS), weighted at 45 percent, 45 percent, and 10 percent, respectively. The Green Score, as well as each component score, is published on a scale from 100 (highest performing) to one (lowest performing).
