We are excited to announce the winners of our 2019 Business Sustainability Awards. Our selections represent the most sustainable businesses + high impact environmental initiatives.

We are particularly proud of the analytical process we used to select the Top 50 Most Sustainable Companies. We leveraged and combined two premier #ESG data sets (@CDP + SAM CSA). The resulting 50 represent the "best of the best of the best" of sustainability.

Importantly, our approach covered a universe of several thousands companies. Other sustainability rankings - like the JUST 100 or Barron's 100 - cover 1,000 companies.

Additionally, our process covers a *global* universe - many #ESG rankings are US-only.

Given SEAL's environmental focus, our Top 50 selection methodology is heavily weighted towards environmental practices.

However, by including Social and Governance components, our approach requires holistic excellence across all of ESG to be selected for the Top 50.

Segmenting our Top 50 Sustainability Leaders by geography, it is clear that Europe continues to lead the way.

/5

And contrary to a perception that #ESG is disproportionately for the Tech sector, the Consumer and Industrial segments are the most well-represented in our Top 50

/6

We're also proud to recognize a range of impactful, innovative Environmental Initiatives. Winners range from global brands - like @adidas, @AMD, @tide - to emerging #ESG leaders - like @HargolFoodTech, @drinkpathwater + @gothamgreens.
