Did you know Clean200 List Shows Top Countries and Companies Transitioning to Sustainable Economy

 

The Carbon Clean200 list by Corporate Knights and As You Show, California-based advocacy groups, shows 200 publicly traded companies that have been transitioning to a sustainable economy. These companies are located in different countries like France, China, and the UK, and have generated $2.5 trillion in revenue from products and services, which has made them reduce their reliance on water and fossil fuels. The Clean200 data shows that major corporations make up 80% of the global market capitalization and their capital expenditures and sustainable revenues have grown more than twice compared to their other revenues in the past five years.

According to the Clean200 list, the top countries that have contributed the most to the Clean200’s performance are China, the US, France, Taiwan and Germany. These countries have tech hardware that is sustainably certified, and have electric vehicles and rail equipment. The top 10 companies that made it to the Clean200 list are Apple, Microsoft, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Contemporary Amperex Technology, Tesla, and Volkswagen.

There were 35 countries that were represented in the Clean200 list, with the US and China taking the lead. Most of the companies on the list are related to the industrial sector, with information technology, consumer discretionary, and materials companies being the most represented. There was a $10,000 investment in the Clean200 in 2016, which has now grown to $29,090 in 2025, while the fossil fuel benchmark has just $17,670.



The Clean200 ranks the world's top companies driving sustainability across sectors. Below is a look at the top 200.
