International business top green companies?

Top green companies by country, as identified by new USA-based study

Newsweek's top 500 green companies, internationally, compiled from the biggest businesses, makes interesting reading.

Some of the top green companies per country on the list are as follows:
  • Brazil -  Santander Brasil
  • India - Wipro
  • USA - IBM
  • Australa - National Australia Bank
  • Netherlands - KPN
According to the report these are the big companies with the best environmental records per country.

The report was made on a detailed assessment of international CSR players' environmental records, including carbon footprints.

For more about the findings and how IT companies are dominating this CSR environmental area, and also how a campaign by Greenpeace is trying to engage with the IT sector, read our review of the green findings at our main charity news channel.
