As head of Corporate Knights Research, Toby Heaps developed The Global 100 Index, an annual ranking of the world’s most sustainable companies. Each year, this ranking is announced at the World Economic Forum. The Global 100 was created by Corporate Knights magazine in 2005. The index was created with the intention of devising a methodology to quantitatively compare and rank the world’s largest publicly traded companies. As a rules-based sustainability rating that emphasizes the impact of a company’s core products and services, the Global 100 is the best-performing global sustainability index (ticker: CKG100).
