American Water (NYSE: AWK), the largest publicly-traded U.S.
water and wastewater utility company, announced today that it has
been named on Corporate Knights’ 18th annual Global 100 list of the
World’s Most Sustainable Corporations for the third year in a row.
American Water is the top-ranked water utility company on the list
and is ranked sixth on the over-all list.
“At American Water, we support and embrace environmental, social
and governance (ESG) goals because we believe it is the right thing
to do,” said Susan Hardwick, EVP, CFO and interim CEO of American
Water. “We are committed to reducing our impact on the environment
and supporting the sustainability of a key renewable and essential
resource. This commitment is shared by our employees, and we are
honored to be included on the Global 100 list as recognition of our
efforts.”
According to Corporate Knights, there is a continued correlation
between higher investor returns and strong performance on key ESG
metrics. It also sheds light on the evolution of ESG priorities and
outcomes, and on the extent of the gap between leading
sustainability performers such as American Water and their global
corporate peers. The ranking is based on a rigorous assessment of
6,914 companies with more than $1 billion in revenues.
