New Sunday Times Green List announced

News

The inaugural Sunday Times Green List 2008 has been announced, with 50 companies fulfilling the stringent criteria.

The newspaper’s first competition to find companies that are striving to improve their environmental performance has resulted in 50 companies out of 88 entries being included in the list.

The venture was launched to reflect the changing mood in the business world and the wider responsibility taken to ensure that companies minimise their environmental impact.

The 50 companies listed were selected via a robust methodology to measure environmental performance and a survey of each company’s staff to find out whether the green sheen is more than skin-deep, reports the Times Online.

Leading the list is a small manufacturing firm, JC Atkinson & Son, sustainable coffin makers. The diverse list also includes Co-operative financial services and Berkeley Homes (London).

The full list is available on the Times website.
