Not Just Greenwashing: These 10 Companies Are Redefining What It Means to Be Sustainable

What if the most powerful forces for environmental change weren’t governments or activists but corporations?

Every year, TIME and Statista team up to ask a tough question:
Who’s actually walking the talk on sustainability?
And in 2024, their answer is as inspiring as it is surprising.

This year’s Top 10 Most Sustainable Companies aren’t just setting targets they’re delivering results.
They’ve committed to ambitious climate goals, such as the 1.5°C pathway set by the Science Based Targets initiative.
They’ve earned high marks from CDP, the gold standard in environmental transparency.
And they’re taking real action: cutting emissions, switching to renewables, and rethinking energy use at scale.

How were they ranked?
Companies were evaluated based on:

• Scope 1 and 2 emissions
• Energy consumption relative to company size
• Measurable emissions reductions in 2021 and 2022
• The share of operations powered by renewable energy

So who came out on top?
Schneider Electric took the #1 spot with a stunning 88.86/100.
Why? Because it’s not just reducing its own footprint it’s empowering others to do the same.
From smart energy software to sustainable services, Schneider is on a mission to be carbon neutral by 2025. And it’s right on track.

Surprises from the top 10?

• Many leaders on the list aren’t making products at all. They’re banks, tech firms, and consultancies industries proving that low-carbon leadership isn’t limited to factories and fields.
• And this isn’t just a win for one region. The list is truly global, with top companies hailing from seven different countries, united by a common drive for climate action.

The big idea?
These companies aren’t perfect. But they’re doing the work.
Not as a PR stunt. Not to tick a box.
But because the future of business and the planet depends on it.

This isn’t corporate fiction. It’s corporate responsibility. And it’s actually working.

What bold steps is your company taking to protect the planet?
And which companies do you think are leading the charge in climate innovation?

Let’s celebrate those making real impact because in a world on fire, sustainability isn’t a buzzword.
It’s survival.
