Sims Metal Management (SMM), based in Chicago and Sydney, has been named one of the Global Top 100 Most Sustainable Corporations for the fourth year in a row. The list, compiled by Corporate Knights, was announced at the 2012 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
SMM moved up 52 spots to No. 11 in the ranking. The Global 100 rankings identify companies that consistently demonstrate superior leadership and performance on a range of environmental, social and governance policies relative to their industry peers.
Dan Dienst, SMM group CEO, says, “It is a great honor to be included for the fourth year on the Global Top 100 Most Sustainable Corporations list. We are humbled to have moved up to No. 11 on the list from No. 63 and [it] would not have been possible without the hard work of our 6,500 employees across 23 countries, five continents and 260 locations."
