Newsweek’s World’s Greenest Companies 2025 list is based on a comprehensive analysis of self-disclosed sustainability data conducted by GIST and Plant-A Insights Group. Over 8,000 companies were evaluated, and 750 were selected for inclusion based on their environmental sustainability performance.

Eligibility requires companies to meet the minimum sustainability standards established by the European Union and to have publicly available sustainability disclosures and more than 1,000 employees. Companies were evaluated and scored on more than 25 parameters in four categories: greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, waste generation, and sustainability data disclosures and commitments.
