Neste Oil Ranks World’s 2nd Best Energy Firm, Greenpeace Disagrees
20/12/2013 (FINNBAY) – According to Corporate Knights Top Global Company 100 list, Finland’s national hero Neste Oil is selected as world’s second best company in most sustainable energy companies list. Greenpeace International disagrees selecting Neste Oil as an example company for a sustainable future.
Corporate Knights places Statoil from the USA to be the top company in the world in its list and followed by Neste Oil (2nd) and Cenovus Energy (3rd). Neste Oil has been selected for the seventh time in Corporate Knights’ The Global 100 list, which ranks the world’s 100 most sustainable companies. Neste Oil achieved its best ever results in 2013, reaching number 4 in the listing.
“It is a pleasure to see that outside parties will appreciate the responsible business practices. Constant development of our operations, and we aim to support the development of our partners,” says Neste Oil’s sustainability, safety and environmental director Simo Honkanen.
According to Greenpeace, “Global demand for palm oil is increasing fast and Neste Oil has bold plans. In 2012 Neste Oil needed 2.5 million tons of raw materials for its refineries in Singapore, Rotterdam and Finland, most of it being palm oil. The cost to the environment and the global climate is devastating – tropical rainforests and peatlands are being torn up to provide land for oil palm plantations.”
