Atlas Copco received several prestigious rankings of the world’s manufacturers, gaining high marks in innovation, sustainability and environmental responsibility from Forbes, Dow Jones and Newsweek respectively.
Atlas Copco was included by Forbes in its list of the world’s most innovative companies. Forbes selects companies for the list by an “innovation premium” based on a company’s market capitalization compared to anticipated cash flows from the company. This premium shows which companies investors expect to generate good returns through future innovations.
The Dow Jones Sustainability Index lists the world’s leading sustainability-driven companies. The annual assessment focuses on management of opportunities and risks derived from economic, environmental and social developments. Aspects such as corporate governance and strategy are taken into account as well as key performance indicators such as emissions and waste.
Newsweek’s Green Rankings evaluates the 500 largest publicly traded companies in the world. Leading environmental research providers, Tucost and Sustainalytics, collaborated with Newsweek to assess each company based on environmental footprints, management policies and programs, initiatives, controversy and reporting practices.
