It’s one thing for a company to give lip service to helping the environment; it’s another for its leaders to make trackable, public commitments to doing better for the planet—and follow through on them. For the first time, TIME and data firmhave created a rigorous methodology with which to measure the world’s most sustainable companies for 2024. The companies at the top of the list have signed on to some of the most respected climate programs, including the 1.
Schneider Electric, for instance, which is based in France and tops the list, creates software and services for energy management. It has not only set ambitious targets to reduce its own emissions—carbon neutral by 2025—but also helps its customers reduce emissions and become more energy efficient through its Sustainability Business. It has its own sustainability impact program to track its performance, and has also reduced emissions across its supply chain.
While many companies that ranked highly are in industries that don’t make many physical products—like banking, tech, and consulting—there were companies that showed sustainability is possible even if you make things. Illumina, the U.S. biotechnology company that's fifth on the list, recently debuted its most powerful gene sequencer while also reducing packaging waste by 90% from the previous model.
While impressive, Schneider’s top score of 88.86 out of 100 on TIME’s list shows the distance even the most dedicated companies have to go to be truly sustainable.
