Atlas Copco, an industrial group with world-leading positions in sustainable productivity solutions, ranks 46th among the 2014 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World index — a list presented in January at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. This is the eighth time that Atlas Copco has appeared in the Global 100 rankings.
“Atlas Copco has always incorporated sustainability initiatives into global business and manufacturing practices because it creates value for our customers and shareholders and makes good business sense,” said Jim Levitt, president, Atlas Copco North America LLC. “Being included in the Global 100 list for the eighth time shows that our social and environmental efforts really do make a difference.”
Creating business value through sustainability is at the core of Atlas Copco’s products and service. Atlas Copco sustainability initiatives, both globally and in the U.S., include:
• Boosting customer energy-efficiency by at least 20% between 2010 and 2020;
• Decreasing CO2 emissions;
• Working actively to eliminate corruption; and
• Promoting access to clean drinking water in countries in need.
The Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World index evaluated 3,641 publicly listed global companies, which are measured against key sustainability indicators such as safety, performance and revenues in relation to consumption of energy and water.
