Scania has again been ranked among the world’s 100 most sustainable corporations, according to the prestigious Corporate Knights Global 100 list.

The list is announced each year during the World Economic Forum in Davos and includes companies from all sectors of the economy.

Scania was ranked in 38th place and was the highest ranked Swedish company.

Inclusion in the Global 100 list is determined using twelve sustainability indicators, including the amount of revenue companies generate per unit of energy consumption and carbon emissions.

Scania through toolbox product offerings like Ecolution by Scania, has been helping customers to dramatically reduce costs and carbon while improving road safety.

According to Toby Heaps, CEO of Corporate Knights, the Global 100’s out-performance of 3.21 per cent over this period speaks to the investment benefits of sustainability. “The results speak for themselves. Topping a well-diversified benchmark is not easy, but the Global 100 has managed to squeak out marginal out-performance across a turbulent period in the history of the capital markets. We attribute this excess return to the growing investment relevance of core sustainability themes.”
