MONTREAL, Jan. 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bombardier (TSX:BBD.B) has been recognized as a leading sustainable corporation by Toronto-based media and research company Corporate Knights Inc.
The announcement was made earlier today at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, when Corporate Knights released its 15th annual list of the world’s most sustainable corporations. The ranking follows a rigorous analysis of 7,500 companies around the world with annual revenues of US$1 billion or more.
Listed among the top 25 most sustainable corporations, Bombardier was both the highest ranked Canadian company and the leading transportation corporation.
