Pall was ranked second in the industrial goods sector and 47th among America’s 500 largest companies. The publication’s first-ever list of ‘Green Companies’ appears in the September issue.
For more than a year, Newsweek analysed data compiled by three research partners to determine scores for environmental impact, green policies and reputation. These scores were then combined with each company’s greenhouse gas emissions and weighted.
Pall received an overall Green Score of 81.94. According to Newsweek, many of the companies that finished in the top 100 are recognised leaders in sustainability.
The company adopted aggressive environmental sustainability goals as part of its long-term plan. Pall is on track to reduce its global carbon footprint by 10% in each of three categories – energy consumption, carbon emissions and waste output – by 2010.
“We are gratified to be ranked so favorably on Newsweek’s inaugural Green Companies list,” said Eric Krasnoff, chairman and CEO. “Pall is dedicated to helping customers minimise their carbon footprints, maximise recycling and waste reduction efforts, and ensure the most efficient utilisation of natural resources and raw materials. Our message to customers, employees and communities is the same. Protecting the environment is the right thing to do.”
