PAWTUCKET, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Hasbro,
Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS) was recently ranked No. 137 on the Maplecroft
Climate Innovation Indexes (CII) Benchmark, which is part of the
Maplecroft Climate Innovation Indexes (CII). According to the
organization, the Maplecroft CII is the single most exhaustive study of
the 360 largest U.S.-based multinational companies and how they manage
and adapt to climate change, with a special focus on innovation.
Examples of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives at
Hasbro that were evaluated and highlighted as key strengths as part of
the Maplecroft CII Benchmark selection process include:
-
Hasbro published a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 10
percent by 2012 from a 2008 baseline and had successfully achieved
this target in 2010.
-
Hasbro has achieved certification to the international Environmental
Management System standard ISO 14001 at its two owned and operated
manufacturing factories.
The Maplecroft CII considers U.S. stocks with a free-float market
capitalization of more than $1 billion (USD), and each company is rated
against more than 100 performance-based criteria. These criteria
include: technological innovation and new working practices to combat
climate change impacts; management of climate-related issues; adaption
to physical climate-related risks, such as flooding or more extreme
weather events throughout the supply chain; and the reduction of
greenhouse gas emissions.
This recognition builds on the leadership distinctions Hasbro has
received from several prestigious organizations in 2012 for its CSR
efforts. Hasbro was recently ranked 23rd on Corporate
Responsibility Magazine's 100
Best Corporate Citizens list as well as being recognized as one of
the "2012 World's Most Ethical Companies" by the Ethisphere
Institute. Additionally, Hasbro received an inaugural Climate
