SustainableBusiness.com announced its 2007 Sustainable Business 20 (SB20) List, which comprises the World’s Top Sustainable Stocks in their view.
According to the SustainableBuisiness.com Web site:
The SB20 list, in its sixth year, consists of 20 public companies that are having an important impact on creating an environmentally sustainable society.
Rona Fried, Ph.D., SustainableBusiness.com CEO and Editor of Progressive Investor, explained the reasoning for the list in a recent statement.
“Our goal is to create a list that showcases public companies that, over the past year, have made substantial progress in either greening their internal operations or growing a business based on an important green technology.”
The list of the SB20 is presented below, with companies appearing in Alphabetical order. It should be noted that this list is made up of a broad international group of companies, which is illustrative of the fact that green innovation is a truly global phenomenon.
On another note, Google was given an honorable mention, so one might consider them the 21st such company on the SustainableBusiness.com list.
