Columns ENERGY MANAGEMENT Atlas Copco Among World’s 100 Most Sustainable Corporations Atlas Copco was named on the list of the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World for the fourth consecutive year at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on January 28, 2009. “In 2008 Atlas Copco took further steps in the corporate responsibility area, including the launch of new energy efficient products and solutions, while increasing the number of employees who are working in a unit with an environmental management system,” said Annika Berglund, Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications, Atlas Copco. “We are pleased to see that our consistent and hard work is recognized in external evaluations and that our people take pride in our continuing efforts to increase our sustainability.” The Global 100 includes companies from 15 countries encompassing all sectors of the economy. The companies were evaluated according to how effectively they manage environmental, social and governance risks and opportunities, relative to their industry peers. This year the Global 100 traced the roots of all listed companies to determine their years of origin. In total, 46 of the 100 companies have been in business for at least 100 years. Atlas Copco was established on February 21, 1873 and turns 136 this year. “As a member of the global community, we are honored to be listed as one of the 100 most sustainable corporations in the world,” said Paul Hense, President of Atlas Copco Compressors LLC, with North American headquarters in Rock Hill, South Carolina. “Our dedication to sustainable business practices extends across our ability to provide customers with reliable compressed air solutions that save energy and increase production efficiency.” The Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World is a project initiated by Corporate Knights, Inc.
