Kodak Again Named to “Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations” List
Friday 01. February 2008 - Also receives "A+" sustainability rating from Roberts Environmental Center
Eastman Kodak Company has once again been named to the list of “Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World.”
The list is compiled by Corporate Knights, Inc., with Innovest Value Strategic Advisors as the research analytic data provider. Kodak has been selected for the list in all four years of its existence.
As noted on the Global 100 website, a company that makes the Global 100 is part of a select group — companies whose sustainability performance falls within the top five per cent of their sector, and have been chosen from among 2,000 of the world’s largest corporations. These companies have demonstrated through performance and strategic intent a greater ability to successfully manage the “triple bottom line” (society, environment, and economy).
In addition to this latest recognition on the Global 100 list, The Roberts Environmental Center, a research institute associated with Claremont McKenna College, has announced that Kodak has received an “A+” sustainability rating in the Scientific, Photo and Control Equipment sector. The next highest rating in the sector was a “B.” The Roberts Center has produced some 800 on-line reports on individual companies as a joint effort among the center’s faculty, research associates, and students in Claremonts five colleges. All analyses are available online (http://www.roberts.cmc.edu/).
“Kodak is very pleased that we continue to be recognized for our commitment to global sustainability,” said David M. Kiser, Kodaks Director of Health, Safety, and Environment, and a Kodak Vice President. “It is especially gratifying to know that these ratings were compiled after detailed analysis of key criteria for leading worldwide companies.”
