in Real EstateⓈThis ranking uses the same criteria as the overall ranking but is limited to comparing the company with others in the same industry within Illuminem's database.(Source: illuminem)
Sustainability MaturityⓈMaturity gauges how far along a company is on its sustainability journey. It takes into account various factors such as:
- Breadth and depth of sustainability strategy
- Investment in sustainability
- External stakeholder engagement on sustainability topics
- Disclosure, awareness and management of environmental performance
- Sustainability certifications, awards and memberships
The maturity rank is based on a company's overall maturity score compared to other companies in the same industry (over 50 companies) in Illuminem's database. Higher maturity result in a higher rank.
Companies at the early stage of their sustainability journey are usually just starting to recognize the importance of sustainability. Their goals are often compliance-driven, cost-saving, or reputation-based, rather than deeply integrated into their core business strategy. Example solutions include services to comply with regulations, compliance software, consulting services, energy management & efficiency to reduce cost, certifications etc.
Companies with high sustainability maturity have deeply integrated sustainability into their core strategy and view it as a competitive advantage. Sustainability is not just a compliance requirement but a business driver that aligns with long-term value creation. Example solutions include insetting & supply chain services, carbon neutrality solutions, circular economy models, innovations in sustainable products and services etc.

Progress against targets ⓈCompany sustainability report
In 2022, American Tower demonstrated progress toward their Science Based Targets (SBTs) by decreasing scope 1 emissions by 11.0% and scope 2 (market-based) emissions by 7.8% compared to their 2019 baseline. Combined scope 1 and 2 emissions decreased by 9.5%. The company measures GHG emissions reduction progress in absolute terms and in GHG emissions intensity per tower, following SBTi guidelines. In Africa, the GHG emissions intensity per tower decreased by 21% against the 2019 baseline, largely due to increased deployment of on-site solar power. Renewable energy source hours have nearly doubled since 2019, reducing diesel generator run time by half. An investment of approximately $345 million in GHG emissions and energy reduction initiatives in Africa since 2018 has led to an estimated decrease in on-site diesel consumption by nearly 43.5 million liters annually, equating to roughly 117,000 MTCO2e avoided.
