Atlanta-based Brambles has advanced one position to be ranked the second-most sustainable company in the world by Corporate Knights in its 2024 Global 100 list.
The annual ranking, announced at the World Economic Forum conference in Davos, Switzerland, assessed 6,733 publicly traded companies with revenues exceeding $1 billion, based on the social and environmental impact of their operations, revenue and investments, according to a news release.
Brambles says this marks its fourth successive year of inclusion on the list — and a continued rise in the rankings — underscoring the importance of its circular “share, repair and reuse” business model to sustainability performance.
“The future of our world relies on businesses contributing more to nature and communities than they require to operate,” Brambles CEO Graham Chipchase said in the release. “Our ambition to build regenerative supply chains is the natural next step for our circular business, which reduces environmental impact every time our CHEP assets are shared and reused in place of single-use alternatives.”
In other news this year, CHEP appointed Xavier Garijo to the newly created CEO Americas position.
Garijo brings 25 years of experience managing global consumer good supply chains and operations, and multi-industry global logistics businesses, according to a news release. He will lead the Americas region combining the previously separate CHEP North America and CHEP Latin America business units.
“I am delighted to be joining Brambles as it progresses its digital transformation to ensure ongoing, profitable growth and strengthen further our customer value proposition,” Garijo said in the release. “The business has a vital role in supply chains, which, combined with its leading approach in sustainability, provides an exceptional foundation for continued success. I look forward to working with our internal teams, customers and vendors to drive value for all stakeholders.”
