Media Advisory - World's 100 Most Sustainable Companies to be Announced at Davos

Toronto, Canada (ots/PRNewswire)

The second annual Global 100
Most Sustainable Corporations in the World listing will be announced
on Friday January 27, 2006 in Davos, Switzerland, during the World
Economic Forum.
The Global 100 is the definitive annual list of large blue-chip
companies around the world that demonstrated the strongest
sustainability performance. The top 100 sustainability performers are
chosen from the universe of publicly-traded companies on the MSCI
World Index, based on research and analysis by Innovest Strategic
Value Advisors. The analysis evaluates which companies had the
best-developed ability - relative to their industry peers - to manage
the environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks and
opportunities they face.
In 2006, over a quarter of the 100 companies on the list are
first-time entries.
The official Global 100 breakfast presentation on January 27 will
include the full list of companies broken down by country, including
potential ESG risks or "areas for improvement" for each company. The
top-ranked companies in each industry group will also be
distinguished as leaders in their group, or best-of-class.
Corporate Knights Editor Toby Heaps will present the rationale for
the Global 100 including results of a new pilot study that uses
traditional financial valuation techniques to help isolate the effect
of sustainable development on company valuations. Innovest Chief
Executive Dr. Matthew Kiernan will then present the Innovest
methodology applied to determine the Global 100 and the results of a
study that shows the financial outperformance of the Global 100
companies relative to the performance of the MSCI World Index.
Following Dr. Kiernan, Intel Chairman, Dr. Craig Barrett will discuss
Intel's approach to Corporate Responsibility and the company's
commitment to socially and environmentally responsible business
practices that translate into sustainable competitive advantage.
