The Global 100 starting universe
All publicly traded companies with a market capitalization of at least US$ 2 billion are automatically considered in the Global 100 starting universe. Market capitalization data is taken each year on October 1st.
First Screen: sustainability disclosure
The first screen eliminates companies that are not keeping pace with the sustainability reporting trends in their specific industry. Companies that fail to disclose at least 75% of the “priority indicators” for their respective GICS Industry Group are eliminated at this point in the project.
Second screen: F-Score
The Piotroski F-Score consists of nine individual tests. Each test scores one for a pass and zero for a fail.
Third screen: product category
Companies with a GICS Sub-Industry classification equal to “Tobacco” are eliminated. Companies with a GICS Sub-Industry classification equal to “Aerospace & Defence” are revenue tested; if a company derives a majority of its revenue from its Defence business group (e.g. weapons manufacturing), it is eliminated.
Fourth screen: sanctions Companies that remain in contention after the first three
screens are subjected to the sanctions screen, which looks at the dollar amount that companies have paid out on a trailing one year basis in sustainability-related fines, penalties or settlements.
This ratio would then be compared against the figures for other GICS Industry Group peers. If Company X’s ratio is found to be in the bottom quartile, Company X will be removed from the Global 100 process.
Previous year Global 100 constituents Global 100 companies from the previous year are added if
they are not in the bottom quartile of their GICS Industry Group on the Fourth Screen (Sanctions).
Each company in the Shortlist is assigned an overall score, which is an average of the scores on each priority KPI. If a company does not disclose the required data fields for a priority KPI to be calculated, the company scores a “0″ on the priority KPI.
The Global 100 consists of the companies with the top overall score in each GICS Sector. In order to match the industry composition of the benchmark, each sector is assigned a fixed number of slots in the Global 100.
Encana has been listed to Corporate Knights’ Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World 2014 –the fifth time Encana has been named in the ten year history of the Global 100. Encana was one of 13 Canadian companies and 10 energy producers to make the list, placing 76 overall.
Inclusion in the Global 100 list is determined using 12 quantitative key performance indicators, including the amount of revenue generated per unit of energy consumption, the ratio of CEO to worker salary, the lost time injury rate and employee turnover.
