January 24, 2007—Innovest Strategic Value Advisors is launching its third Global 100 list of the most sustainable corporations in the world at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
The G100, initiated by Corporate Knights Inc. with Innovest as the exclusive research provider, includes companies from 16 countries in sectors ranging from Oil and Gas to Wireless Telecommunication Services that were evaluated according to how effectively they manage environmental, social and governance risks and opportunities, relative to their industry peers.
Matthew Kiernan, CEO of Innovest, a Canadian-based international investment advisory firm, whose analysis underpins the list, notes that G100 companies made the list by being proactive in response to investor and other stakeholder demands for better management of risks such as climate change. Kiernan added, The United Kingdom has 24 companies on the list, with the United States (19) and Japan (13) following. Approximately one-third of the ranked companies will be replaced from last year’s list.
The G100, a select group of companies taken from a pool of some 1,800 international companies, provides investors – and other stakeholders – with a unique evaluation tool, notes Innovest.
