ACCIONA sustainable companies recognition continues as the global leader secures its position in the prestigious 2026 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations list compiled by Corporate Knights. The announcement was made at the World Economic Forum in Davos on January 26, 2026, highlighting ACCIONA’s unwavering commitment to regenerative solutions and decarbonized economy initiatives.
The Spanish multinational company, alongside its subsidiary Nordex, has been recognized for exceptional performance in sustainable investments and revenues. This achievement reinforces ACCIONA’s leadership position in the global sustainability landscape, demonstrating that profitability and environmental responsibility can coexist successfully.
Corporate Knights Evaluation Methodology
Corporate Knights conducts a comprehensive evaluation of more than 8,000 publicly traded corporations worldwide with revenues exceeding US$1 billion. The ranking excludes certain activities considered unsustainable, ensuring only genuinely committed companies make the list. This year’s assessment focused on three equally weighted parameters that provide a holistic view of corporate sustainability performance.
The evaluation criteria include sustainable investments, sustainable revenues as defined in Corporate Knights’ Sustainable Economy Taxonomy, and the sustainable revenue momentum score. This momentum score measures the growth of sustainable revenues between 2022 and 2024, rewarding companies that demonstrate consistent progress rather than static performance.
ACCIONA Sustainable Companies Leadership Recognition
The presence of ACCIONA sustainable companies in the 2026 Global 100 list reinforces the organization’s leadership in sustainable performance across multiple benchmark ratings. The company maintains top positions in prestigious evaluations including Sustainalytics, MSCI, EthiFinance, CSA, and CDP, demonstrating consistent excellence across diverse sustainability metrics.
ACCIONA has maintained carbon neutrality since 2016, a remarkable achievement that predates many current corporate sustainability commitments. The company’s business portfolio encompasses renewable energy generation, water treatment and management, eco-efficient transportation systems, and resilient infrastructure development, all contributing to a regenerative economic model.
Nordex Adds Sustainability Credentials
Nordex, the wind turbine manufacturer and ACCIONA subsidiary, continues to strengthen its sustainability profile. The company recently earned a platinum medal from EcoVadis, an independent ESG rating agency, in November 2025. This recognition, combined with the Corporate Knights listing, demonstrates Nordex’s commitment to environmental, social, and governance excellence throughout its operations.
The wind energy sector plays a crucial role in global decarbonization efforts, and Nordex’s recognition validates the company’s contribution to this transition. By manufacturing efficient wind turbines and maintaining sustainable business practices, Nordex supports the broader renewable energy ecosystem.
Financial Performance and Global Presence
ACCIONA recorded impressive sales of €19.19 billion in 2024, demonstrating that sustainability and financial success are not mutually exclusive. The company maintains a business presence in more than 40 countries worldwide, delivering regenerative solutions across diverse markets and regulatory environments.
This global footprint enables ACCIONA to scale its impact, transferring sustainable technologies and practices across borders while adapting to local needs and conditions. The company’s integrated approach addresses multiple aspects of the climate crisis simultaneously, from energy generation to water management and sustainable infrastructure.
