Realisation of the "good-company-ranking" within the field "environmental performance" 2008
Table of contents
By order of the Manager Magazin the Good Company Ranking 2008 was conducted by the Chair of Environmental Management in cooperation with the Kirchhoff Consult AG. 90 companies were chosen because of the quality of integration of societal influences in their company policies. As for the Good Company Ranking 2006, the section "Environment" (one of four sections) was analysed by the Chair of Environmental Management and Accounting in 2008.
The analysis of the section Environment is embedded in the steps selection and contact of participating companies as well as evaluation of the results. In addition, the sections Environment, Financial excellence, Society, and Human resources are analysed.
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. For the ranking in 2006, the detailed descriptions as well as scoring rules for every criterion were completely revised, customised, objectified, and configured, assuring the possibility of intersubjective verification. Therefore 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.
