Realisation of the "good-company-ranking" within the field "environmental performance" 2006
Table of contents
In partnership with Manager Magazin, the Good Company Ranking 2006 was conducted by the Chair of Environmental Management in cooperation with Deloitte & Touche GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft and the Kirchhoff Consult AG. 119 companies were chosen based on the quality of integration of societal influences in their company policies. The section "Environment" (one of five sections) was analysed by the Chair of Environmental Management and Accounting.
The analysis of the section Environment is embedded in the steps Selection and contact of participating companies as well as Decision of the jury. In addition, the sections Environment, Financial excellence, Society and Human resources are analysed. Transparency was directly integrated in these sections of analysis.
The criteria Integration of environmental aspects in business processes (A), Environmental performance (B), Environmental aspects of the value chain (C), Ecological innovation (D) and Dialogue with stake holders and co-operations concerning the environment (E) are completely adopted from the Good Company Ranking 2004. Detailed descriptions as well as scoring rules for every criterion were completely revised, customised, objectified, and configured, assuring the possibility of intersubjective verification. Therefore, on the one hand, critiques regarding the last ranking could be integrated and, on the other hand, the structure of this analysis is still recognisable for a reader of the last ranking. The research team examined documents submitted by companies upon request as well as documents which are publicly available.
