Sustainability’s New Champions: The ‘Top 100 Companies’
The much-awaited supplement from Sustainability Magazine features a list of the world’s top 100 companies that are leading the charge in corporate sustainability. Companies like Capgemini, Schneider Electric, ABB, and AT&T have been highlighted for their remarkable efforts in creating long-lasting benefits while balancing profitability.
Lucy Buchholz, Editor in Chief of Sustainability Magazine, says, “It’s incredibly inspiring to see how these businesses are pioneering change and leading by example. I’m proud to be part of a portfolio of publications that showcases the very best businesses driving sustainable change, going above and beyond to lessen their environmental impact.”
The Multi-Faceted Approach to Corporate Sustainability
Companies today are embracing a holistic view of sustainability, incorporating it into their DNA in various ways—from ESG and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) to supply chain sustainability, Net Zero commitments, and even future technology and AI strategies.
Glen White, Founder and CEO of BizClik, observes, “Compelling Sustainability & ESG Strategies are vital to the heartbeat & DNA of every major business globally. Having spent time speaking to many Chief Sustainability Officers over the last few months, I think the Top 100 ‘Most Sustainable Companies’ list is a fabulous example of work being done to combat our current climate crisis.”
Striking a Balance: Profitability and Sustainability
One of the key points to note about the companies featured in the list is their ability to demonstrate that sustainability and profitability can coexist. This is crucial in a business world often dominated by the notion that focusing on environmental and social aspects may detract from the bottom line.
Expanding the Sustainability Dialogue: Upcoming Events
The conversation about corporate sustainability is not limited to the Top 100 Companies supplement. Sustainability Magazine is hosting the Sustainability LIVE conference at the Business Design Centre on September 6th and 7th, 2023. This event aims to bring together thought leaders and experts in the field to discuss and brainstorm future sustainability practices and trends.
The Global Reach: Expansion to Dubai and Miami
Looking beyond 2023, BizClik is expanding its events business to Dubai and Miami starting in 2024. This international foray indicates the growing importance and acceptance of sustainability practices globally.
The Takeaway: A Catalyst for Change
The ‘Top 100 Companies’ list serves as a catalyst for change, encouraging other companies to adopt sustainable practices. While these 100 companies are certainly exemplary, the broader goal is to inspire a collective effort towards combating the climate crisis and creating a more equitable world.
Conclusion
Sustainability Magazine’s ‘Top 100 Companies of 2023’ is more than just a list; it’s a call to action. It serves as a comprehensive guide for businesses, policymakers, and individuals, showing that sustainable action is not just possible, but also profitable.
