Finally, to study the environmental impact, key environmental performance indicators have been analyzed, such as carbon emissions, energy and water use, and waste management. In this way, the scores of these three dimensions are combined to form a final score out of 100 points.

The fundamental objective of this list is to reward companies that have demonstrated strong long-term growth and, at the same time, are sustainable from an environmental point of view, “thus demonstrating that sustainability can go hand in hand with growth.”
