Top 10: Nuclear Energy Companies
The top nuclear energy companies generating lower carbon electricity include EDF, China General Nuclear, ROSATOM, KEPCO and CNNC
The International Energy Agency (IEA) says that nuclear energy can help to make the energy sector’s transition to sustainable power faster and more secure. Intermittent energy sources, like wind and solar, will require support from stable energy sources to prevent power outages dependent on weather conditions. Nuclear is a power source that can provide this steady energy supply without producing carbon emissions like fossil fuels. “Achieving net zero globally will be harder without nuclear,” the IEA says.

Top 10: Bioenergy Companies
Biofuels are key to net zero goals. These 10 companies are leading the way in scaling renewable fuels for transport, industry and global energy security
The global energy industry is undergoing a seismic transformation, driven by urgent climate goals, technological innovation and evolving regulatory frameworks.
As demand for reliable, lower-carbon energy intensifies, legacy fossil fuel giants and emerging players alike are rethinking how energy is sourced, produced and consumed.
Renewable electricity from wind and solar continues to gain ground, but for hard-to-electrify sectors like aviation, shipping and heavy industry, alternative fuels remain essential. Bioenergy is increasingly viewed as a scalable solution to decarbonise transport and support energy security. Derived from feedstocks such as corn, sugarcane, wood pellets and oilseeds, modern biofuels can reduce lifecycle emissions and displace petroleum-based products. Read more
Top 10: European Renewable Energy Companies
The top renewable energy companies in Europe supporting the transition to carbon free energy include Vestas, Siemens, Enel, Iberdrola and TotalEnergies
Renewables made up nearly a quarter of Europe’s power generation in 2022 according to the European Environment Agency (EEA).
The EEA says that the energy sector is responsible for around 75% of the continent’s emissions, so the amount of renewable energy needs to continue to rise.
Across Europe, renewable energy companies are taking action to decarbonise energy.
Sustainability Magazine has ranked 10 of the top European renewable energy companies. Read more
Top 10: Grid Management Systems
The top grid management systems supporting smart use of energy include innovative brands like Siemens, Oracle, GE Vernova and Cisco
Modern grid management focuses on using renewable and distributed energy resources to transform traditional electricity grids into smart, flexible and resilient energy sources. Companies can integrate new technologies, like AI and data integration, to optimise supply and demand whilst also preventing outages. Infrastructure is being upgraded with automation, advanced control rooms and digital tools that allow for real time fault detection and flexible load management.
Top 10: Decarbonisation Platforms
Decarbonisation can come with a lot of data, particularly in businesses with huge supply chains.
A report from BCG says that more than 90% of companies are not measuring their emissions regularly and accurately.
Decarbonisation platforms are built to tackle this task, freeing up time to take action.
Sustainability Magazine has ranked 10 of the top decarbonisation platforms.
The top decarbonisation platforms supporting target setting, decision making and reporting include Sweep, Watershed and Salesforce Net Zero Cloud Read more

How is Baker Hughes Using Geothermal and Hydrogen Tech?
Baker Hughes is targeting net zero, advancing carbon capture, hydrogen and geothermal tech and driving employee-led emission cuts across its operation
Since the start of industrial times in the 18th century, human activities have increased atmospheric CO₂ by 50%, according to NASA. For many companies, sustainability now sits at the centre of corporate strategy, with the aim of meeting net zero in line with the Paris Agreement.
Energy technology firm Baker Hughes says sustainability is now part of its brand identity.
“We are holding the course to advance sustainability,” says Allyson Anderson Book, Chief Sustainability Officer at Baker Hughes.
Why Paramount, Costco & Tesla Lead S&P 500’s Energy Race
Paramount, Costco and Tesla advance renewable energy use, emissions cuts and recycling to reach net zero as part of their S&P 500 sustainability plans.
The S&P 500 is a US stock market index tracking the performance of leading listed companies.
Around 430 of these firms have a dedicated board committee overseeing sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities according to Bloomberg Law.
The World Economic Forum states that sustainability is now essential for organisations aiming to stay relevant and competitive, calling for it to be fully embedded into corporate strategy.
The index includes some of the biggest brands worldwide such as McDonald’s, Johnson & Johnson, Starbucks and Apple. Read more
