CorporateRegister.com is pleased to announce the inaugural issue of the NEWSWEEK GREEN RANKINGS, the first objective ‘green’ analysis of America’s 500 largest companies. This analysis is intended to become an annual event, and in 2010 will be expanded to include the largest companies worldwide.

The rankings are a product of a year-long collaboration between CorporateRegister.com, Newsweek, and environmental research firms KLD Research & Analytics and Trucost. Despite the challenges of comparing sustainability across sectors, the team created an overarching methodology to compare firms based on a Green Policies Score, an Environmental Impact Score, and a Reputation Score.

Companies that topped the rankings include Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Johnson & Johnson, Intel, and IBM, and additional rankings by sector were also clarified.
