Who Actually Passes?
The 528 companies that score positive on climate are a mix of surprising names and predictable ones.
| Company | Ticker | Planet-Friendly Score |
|---|---|---|
| Graphjet Technology | GTI.US | +50 |
| GoDaddy | GDDY.US | +40 |
| Mastercard | MA.US | +40 |
| Complete Solaria | SPWR.US | +40 |
| Hudson Technologies | HDSN.US | +40 |
| Greenwave Technology | GWAV.US | +40 |
| Estee Lauder | EL.US | +30 |
GoDaddy and Mastercard on a climate leaderboard may seem odd. But digital-first companies with low physical footprints, documented renewable energy commitments, and transparent emissions reporting can outperform industrial giants that spend millions on sustainability marketing.
