Which companies earned a spot on the Corporate Knights' index of the world's greenest firms? The ranking is based on a rigorous assessment of 6,914 companies with revenues of more than $1 billion.
Corporate Knights' 18th annual ranking of the world's 100 most sustainable companies shows a continued correlation between higher investment returns and strong performance on key?environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics.
Noteworthy findings and results
The 2022 Global 100 companies derive 47% of their revenues from products or services categorized as “clean” according to the Corporate Knights Clean Taxonomy, and they spend 48%?of their capital expenditures, R&D, and acquisitions on clean investments.
Cash taxes paid over the past five years have been 13% of the profit ratio, as opposed to the average global statutory rates which are double. The US has the largest number of Global 100 companies with 23 while Canada is above its weight with 10. Another two are from South America, 46 from Europe/UK, 18 from the Asia-Pacific region, and one from Africa.
Global 100 versus MSCI ACWI Index
According to an analysis by S&P Capital IQ, the Corporate Knights Global 100 Index is the best performing global sustainability stock index since its inception in 2005 and is also ahead of its?leading benchmark.
A dollar invested in an index composed of Global 100 companies on February 1, 2005, would have yielded a return nearly one-fifth higher than the same investment in the MSCI All Country?World Index, or ACWI (total return of 331% compared to 279%), with the performance gap widening in favor of the Global 100, evident after the onset of COVID when major green recovery?programs were adopted.
