Carnegie has awarded Borregaard, UPM and engcon for their sustainability work.
"Sustainability continues to be a key differentiator for companies aiming to attract long-term investor interest. The winners of the 2024 award exemplify how businesses that integrate ESG deeply into their business models can align with evolving market demands," says Lena Österberg, Global Head of Research and Sustainability Strategy, and founder of the award.
"In an era of heightened regulation and investor focus on ESG metrics, these companies also demonstrate that a commitment to sustainability not only enhances resilience but also drives financial performance and innovation. Investors are increasingly recognising that companies with sustainability at their core are better positioned to navigate future challenges and capitalise on emerging opportunities," Österberg continues.
The winners in three categories are chosen from among the ~500 listed companies covered by Carnegie Research. The purpose of the award is to highlight good examples of sustainable companies and to inspire others.
