Atea earns new ranking among world's most sustainable companies

OSLO - Atea today announced it has earned prestigious recognition as one of the “World’s Most Sustainable Companies 2024,” based on a new ranking by global media brand TIME, and Statista R, a world leader in top lists produced via market research and data analysis. This endeavour is a first-time partnership between the two groups: selecting from over 5,000 companies the top 500 for this important recognition.

Each firm is preliminarily assessed on revenue, market capitalization and public prominence, and then undergoes a rigorous four-step process involving over 20 key data points, including: CDP score, alignment with GRI and SASB, as well as emissions and energy intensity.

The winning companies are based in more than 30 countries: most of which are headquartered in the US (111), followed by Japan (44) and the UK (35).

Atea’s CEO, Steinar Sønsteby, welcomed this new recognition: “Year after year, we work hard to deliver on our mission as “The Place to Be” for our customers, employees and partners. Our sustainability efforts are an integral part of that work. As a proudly Scandinavian company, we are especially honored to have our efforts in this area recognized as being among the world’s best. This ranking and the selection process sets a benchmark for others to follow.”
