Energy leaders outperform S&P 500 and MSCI World-Daily
indices
TORONTO, Nov. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Thomson
Reuters unveiled the Top 100 Global Energy Leaders, the industry's
first, holistic assessment identifying today's leading energy
companies. The study objectively determines the organizations that
demonstrate the fortitude to excel in a complex business
environment across eight pillars of performance: Financial,
Management and Investor Confidence, Risk and Resilience,
Legal Compliance, Innovation, People and Social Responsibility,
Environmental Impact, and Reputation. The patent-pending
methodology supporting the initiative was developed by Thomson
Reuters Boston Innovation Lab.
"Leadership in today's competitive global marketplace extends
beyond the balance sheet and looks at the organization
holistically. Leadership is also defined by organizations that
provide healthy and safe workplaces, cultivate diverse and equal
opportunities, exclude forced or compulsory labor from their
workplace, have geographically diverse supplier and customer
networks, and demonstrate a commitment to the environment," said
Emily Lyons, managing director of
the Thomson Reuters Energy Practice Group. "We applaud the
leaders on this list as they represent the current vanguard among
their peers by outsizing business challenges with the acumen and
agility to stay one step ahead of constant change."
- Thomson Reuters Top 100 Global Energy Leaders' final scores
across the pillars outshine 1,500-plus energy companies.
- The organizations currently outperform the S&P 500, S&P
500 Energy, and MSCI World Energy-Daily indices in year-over-year
gross profit by 16.52 percent, 37.93 percent and 1.41 percent. They
also outperform the MSCI World Energy-Daily and S&P 500 indices
in annual stock-price change by 10.93 percent and 5.55
percent.
- The companies tend to score well in People and Social
Responsibility as well as Risk and Resilience. They fared 30
percent better than their peers in Workforce and Human Rights; 26
percent in Resource Use; and are 20 percent more insulated from
operational risk.
- Europe is home to 41 of the
leaders, comprising 19 countries on the continent. North America has a quarter of the top energy
companies, with 19 of them hailing from the United States and 6 from Canada. Asia
is home to 24 percent of the Top 100 Global Energy Leaders.
"The unique, holistic approach Thomson Reuters is taking to
identify energy leadership makes a lot of sense given today's
complex business environment," said Mark
Walsh, national managing director - US Energy &
Resources Industry, Deloitte Consulting LLP. "At Deloitte, we see
how energy companies with operational excellence related to
financial operations, risk-management strategies, secure and
resilient supply chains, workforce health and safety mandates and
responsible environmental practices are well positioned for
success. Congratulations to the Thomson Reuters 2017 Top 100 Global
Energy Leaders."
The analysis also includes subsector rankings: the Thomson
Reuters Top 25 Oil and Gas Honorees, Oil and Gas Related Equipment
and Services Honorees, Renewable Energy Honorees and Multiline
Utilities Honorees. Each list spotlights those companies that
represent the top 25 organizations in their respective arenas.
