TIME and Statista name 500 companies doing best for the Earth, to identify organisations making substantial progress in environmental sustainability. The ranking evaluates companies based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative data collected in, among them Scope 1 and 2 emissions and energy consumption relative to company size, emissions reductions, and proportion of renewable energy used by the company’s operations.
As a qualification for the list, the companies listed at the top have signed on to some of the most respected climate programs, including the 1.5°C target from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and receive high scores from CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project).
With more than 90% of its emissions originating from end-users, Husqvarna Group recognises the critical importance of electrification in reducing its overall carbon footprint. According to Calle Medin, Head of Sustainability at Husqvarna Group:
