Newsweek and some environmental researchers came up with the 100-point scorecard last year and all the companies were evaluated on this 100-point scale. For the evaluation, US-based 500 publicly-traded companies came under consideration to decide the greenest company in the US. Biggest 100 international companies from around the world were considered for the evaluation to find out the greenest company in the world.
