Swedish corporations are often praised for their far-reaching work with corporate responsibility. Several recent studies list Swedish companies in this perspective:

• Corporate Knights analyses companies’ environmental, social and governance performance. The 2012 Global 100 study included five Swedish companies: Atlas Copco (18), Scania (27), Ericsson (30), Electrolux (58) and H&M (73). Parameters in the study included carbon dioxide emissions, leadership diversity and
taxes paid.

• The Dow Jones Sustainability World Index ranks the world’s leading companies in terms of their efforts in sustainability. The annual survey is based on analysis of companies’ performance in business ethics, the environment and social issues. The analysis, compiled by SAM from Switzerland, has significant influence on funds and investors who base their investments on ethics and sustainability. The 2012-13 index includes six Swedish companies: SKF, SCA, Electrolux, H&M, MTG and Atlas Copco.

• London Stock Exchange subsidiary FTSE Group produces the FTSE4Good Index Series every year, to support investors from around the world who want to increase the focus on the environmental, social and governance aspects of the companies in which they invest. The FTSE4Good Index 2013 includes Swedish companies such as SEB, Electrolux and Atlas Copco.
