H&M climbs the list of the most sustainable companies in the world
H&M is ranked number 64 on the Global 100 annual list of the most sustainable companies in the world.
Yesterday the 2014 iteration of the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World (Global 100) index was released. H&M is included in the list for the fifth consecutive year and climbed to rank 64 overall (up from 73 in 2013). H&M is the highest ranking retailing company and together with Adidas (8) the only fashion company representing the list.
The Global 100 Methodology
Qualifying Global 100 companies are scored on a list of twelve quantitative key performance indicators that range from energy and water use, to employee compensation and corporate tax strategy.
Because the indicators are quantitative and clearly-defined, the results of the Global 100 are objective and replicable. The Global 100 follows a rules-based construction methodology and is more similar to a financial index than many other sustainability indices.
