Sims Metal Management Cited as one of the Global Top 100 Most Sustainable Corporations

Sims Metal Management has been listed as one of the Global Top 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World for the second year in a row by a publication that compiles the list.

Toronto-based publication Corporate Knights, which describes itself as “The Magazine for Clean Capitalism,” announced the second version of its list at the 2010 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in February 2010.

The Global Top 100 Most Sustainable Corporations list is designed to identify companies that “consistently demonstrate superior leadership and performance on a range of environmental, social and governance policies relative to their industry peers,” according to a news release from Sims. “Companies on the list are considered better equipped than their competitors to thrive and succeed in the longer term due to the sustainable approach used to manage their business,” adds the Sims news release.

“Sims Metal Management’s inclusion is testimony to the company’s commitment to, and effective management of, the societal, environmental and governance factors impacting our business,” says Sims CEO Dan Dienst. “Doing good and doing well are not mutually exclusive propositions at Sims Metal Management.”

Sims Metal Management operates scrap recycling facilities throughout the world.
