The annual ranking identifies 750 companies worldwide that demonstrate leadership in sustainability through measurable performance, transparent reporting, environmental and social responsibility, and adherence to internationally recognized sustainability standards.
The recognition highlights MM Group's ongoing efforts to integrate sustainability throughout its operations and value chain. The company's performance was evaluated based on a comprehensive assessment of sustainable business practices, external sustainability commitments and ratings, reporting quality, governance standards, and environmental and social impact.
