Brambles (CHEP), en global leder inden for forsyningskædelogistik, er blevet rangeret som det 2. mest bæredygtige selskab i verden af Corporate Knights på deres 2024 Global 100-liste.

Den årlige rangering, der blev offentliggjort på World Economic Forums konference i Davos, har vurderet hele 6.733 børsnoterede virksomheder (med en omsætning på over 1 mia. USD) på den sociale og miljømæssige indvirkning af deres drift, indtægter og investeringer.

Dette år er fjerde år i træk hvor CHEP (Brambles) er på listen, og virksomhedens stiger i rangeringen, hvilket understreger betydningen af dens cirkulære forretningsmodel i forhold til at sikre bæredygtige resultater.

Graham Chipchase, Brambles' administrerende direktør, udtaler: "Vores verdens fremtid afhænger af, at virksomheder bidrager mere til naturen og lokalsamfundet, end de har tager derfra. Vores ambition om at opbygge regenerative forsyningskæder er det naturlige næste skridt for vores cirkulære forretning, der reducerer miljøbelastningen hver gang vores CHEP-aktiver bliver delt og genbrugt i stedet for single-use alternativer".

Han fortsætter:

"At nå andenpladsen på Corporate Knights' Global 100-liste er en bemærkelsesværdig præstation, som vi med glæde deler med vores kunder, medarbejdere og investorer, der støtter vores bæredygtighedsvision og forstår dens rolle i både vedvarende værdiskabelse og forfølgelsen af mere robuste forsyningskæder."

Toby Heaps, Corporate Knights CEO tilføjer: “Som en cirkulær økonomi-superstjerne er Brambles en pioner inden for at tilpasse bæredygtigheds-aligneret direktionskompensation, pensionsbidrag til medarbejdere, bestyrelsesdiversitet og 100% bæredygtige investeringer og indtægter, der former virksomhedens forretning. Selskaber på Global 100-indekset repræsenterer standarden for bæredygtighedsresultater, hvor Brambles er tæt på toppen.”

Brambles' placering på 2024 Global 100-listen følger en periode med stærke bæredygtighedsresultater og anerkendelser for virksomheden, herunder at bevare førstepladsen i sin industrikategori i Dow Jones Sustainability Index samt sikre sin dobbelte "A"-score fra CDP for vores indsats mod klima og skovbrug og opretholdelsen af vores maksimale MSCI AAA-rating.

What is the Global 100?

Since 2005, the Global 100 has been one of the world’s most valued and transparent rulesbased sustainability ratings that emphasizes the impact of a company’s core products and services. It is the bestperforming global sustainability index (ticker: CKG100), with more than 10 years of history. All publicly traded companies with more than US$1 billion in revenue are assessed across 25 key performance indicators (KPIs) covering resource management, employee management, financial management, sustainable revenue and sustainable investment, and supplier performance. Companies engaging in “red flag” activities such as blocking climate policy and contributing to deforestation are disqualified. Our methodology illuminates the “say–do” gap. Only those companies making sustainable solutions a core part of their business offerings and allocating meaningful investments to reduce their carbon footprints make the grade.
