Newsweek Green Rankings, one of the world's foremost corporate environmental listings, rank the top publicly traded U.S. and global companies based on their overall environmental performance. The project is driven by an environmental focus across Newsweek's regular rankings features, in particular the 2024 ranking of America's Greenest Companies and America's Most Responsible Companies, the latter of which has a large focus on sustainability.
In her introduction to the Greenest Companies ranking, Newsweek Editor-in-Chief Nancy Cooper highlighted how it complemented the recent launch of Better Planet, a Newsweek platform 'where we highlight innovators and innovations making the world healthier and safer.'Better Planet's mission is to highlight the ways that individual actions can help the environment, because, as its homepage says,'the first step in making a difference is recognizing that we can make a difference.
