August 09 2022 - 10:38AM
Casella Waste Systems, Inc. (“Casella”) (NASDAQ: CWST), a
regional solid waste, recycling, and resource management services
company, was recently named the Most Sustainable Company in the
Waste Management category by World Finance Magazine.
World Finance Magazine, a print and online magazine providing
comprehensive coverage and analysis of the financial industry,
international business, and the global economy, annually honors
companies across a dozen categories ranging from Insurance and
Banking to Corporate Governance. In 2019 as the issue of climate
change rose to the top of the global agenda and businesses across
the globe began to take real action to tackle climate change, World
Finance introduced its inaugural Sustainability Awards, to honor
companies that show a commitment to environmentalism and
sustainability and are making the business world a much greener
place.
“It’s an honor to have our sustainability efforts recognized as
the global leader among our peers,” said John W. Casella, Chairman
and CEO of Casella. “This award is validation of the hard work of
more than 3,000 employees who come to work at Casella every day and
make a difference. Whether it was 45 years ago when we established
the first recycling facility in Vermont or present day as we turn
landfill gas into renewable natural gas in New Hampshire, our
people have made a commitment to putting material to a higher and
better use and that’s what makes all the difference.”
Casella is the first vertically integrated solid waste,
recycling, and resource management services company to earn the
award in the Waste Management Category and joins 29 other companies
such as Canadian Pacific Railway, JetBlue, and McCain Foods, which
were honored across various categories.
According to World Finance, its judges were impressed by
Casella’s ambitious 2030 Sustainability Goals that align with the
Paris Agreement, Global Reporting Initiative, Sustainability
Accounting Standards Board, CDP Disclosure, and ESG reporting.
“Sustainability is a journey without a destination that relies
on the actions of both our people and many other partners,” said
Casella. “We are proud to deliver services to our customers and the
communities we serve that remove over 3 tons of carbon from the
atmosphere for every ton of carbon we emit in our operations.
