METHODOLOGYThere were several formulae used to create this list of 29 CSOs:We started with the following sources:• LinkedIn• Jigsaw• GreenBiz• SEC Filings• Multiple Google Searches• Largely turned to our network such as socially responsible investing researchers who research publicly traded companies for theirsustainability accomplishments and commitmentsThen we honed our criteria:• The company must be publicly traded [exception: Georgia Pacific] in the United States 20• Executive must have the title of Chief Sustainability OfficerThen followed up with a rigorous exercise in independently verifying all the data with the CSOs and their teams.The final results: We collected preliminary data for 29 companies, listed individually in the appendix, and verified 28 of them, shortlistingfive for more in-depth profiles.20For example, SAP is a German company but their shares are traded publicly in the United StatesCSO Back Story28 Weinreb Group
