The non-profit Climate Counts, funded by organic yogurt maker Stonyfield Farm, Inc., last week released its second annual scorecard rankings. The ranking show how some of the world’s most visible companies stack up in terms of their commitment to reducing emissions and staving off climate change. According to the survey, 84 percent of the 56 major corporations surveyed made improvements over the last year in their efforts to reduce greenhouse gases and improve their transparency on the issue.
Nike scored the highest with 82 points (out of a possible 100) thanks to its proactive efforts to measure companywide greenhouse gas emissions, establish clear goals to reduce them and begin to reduce its carbon footprint. The Oregon-based shoemaker also got kudos for effectively communicating is commitment to consumers. Other top scorers included Google, Hewlett-Packard, Anheuser-Busch and Levi Strauss.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, five companies scored one or zero points: Jones Apparel Group, Burger King, Darden Restaurants (which owns Red Lobster and Olive Garden), Yum! Brands (parent to Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and KFC) and Wendy’s.
