Brown-Forman (NYSE:BFA)(NYSE:BFB) claimed the top spot as the
“greenest” beverage alcohol company among U.S. publicly traded
companies in the Newsweek Green Rankings, one of the foremost
corporate environmental rankings index.
Brown-Forman increased its ranking 17 spots, to 52 from 69 and
was named among the top three of all beverage companies in the
U.S., following Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. and Keurig Green
Mountain.
The Newsweek Green Rankings evaluate the United States’ largest
publicly-traded companies using eight metrics that provide a
transparent measurement of overall corporate environmental
performance. The 2016 “green score” of each company was based on
these components: energy, greenhouse gases, water, waste, green
revenue score, sustainability pay link, sustainability board
committee, and an audited metrics score.
“Environmental sustainability supports Brown-Forman’s vision of
enduring forever,” said Alex Alvarez, Senior Vice President, Chief
Production Officer, Brown-Forman. “Our environmental performance
creates opportunities for cost savings, efficiency, and innovation
in our production operations.”
“We are pleased to have been recognized by Newsweek for our
ongoing efforts and progress,” said Rob Frederick, Vice President,
Director, Corporate Responsibility, Brown-Forman. “This rating is
the result of our collective company commitment to
sustainability.”
In 2014 the company set new, more aggressive environmental
sustainability goals focused on reducing our greenhouse gas
emissions, sending zero waste to landfill, and increasing the
efficiency of water use and wastewater discharges. These goals
support our ambitions to be a sustainability leader within our
industry as we explore new approaches and technologies, collaborate
with our partners, and invest resources to meet these
ambitions.
