STOCKHOLM , June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Tele2 AB ("Tele2") (Nasdaq: TEL2 A) (Nasdaq: TEL2 B) (Stockholm: TEL2 A) (Stockholm: TEL2 B) has been named Sweden's most sustainable company and ranked 37th globally by Time Magazine and Statista on their inaugural World's Most Sustainable Companies list, featuring 500 companies from more than 30 countries. Earlier this year, Tele2 was also recognized as Sweden's climate leader by the Financial Times.

The ranking includes a comprehensive selection process of over 5,000 of the world's largest companies that underwent a rigorous 4-step process to identify the top 500 most sustainable companies.

In total, Tele2 got 76.13 points, which is the highest rating for any Swedish company and makes Tele2 rank number 37 globally, among companies from over 30 countries.

We are honored to be recognized as Sweden's most sustainable company and proud to rank so well also in a global context. Together with our top rating on the Financial Times European Climate Leaders list for two consecutive years, this recognition underscores the hard work and dedication of our employees in advancing sustainability. We will continue to strive for excellence and drive positive change in the industry and society, says Kjell Johnsen, President and CEO of Tele2.

The assessment involved over 20 key data points in three categories: "Commitments & Ratings," "Reporting & Transparency," and "Stewardship."

Exclusive-Firm making car that Putin gifted to Kim uses South Korean parts, data shows
Laughing and joking, Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un cruised around Pyongyang last week in a Russian-made Aurus limousine to showcase their strengthened anti-Western alliance. The luxury sedan was intended to epitomize Russia's domestic prowess and reduced dependence on imported technology and goods when unveiled in 2018. But customs records show that the company that builds it uses millions of dollars in imported parts, many arriving in Russia from what Kim has described as his country's "primary foe", South Korea.

Zeekr's sales jump as Chinese dominate Russian EV market
Sales of Zeekr electric vehicles have shot up in Russia in the last year, putting Chinese carmakers ahead of local competition in Russia's small but rapidly expanding electric vehicle (EV) sector. Chinese carmakers have already seized more than half of Russia's car market since Western competitors pulled out, taking their technology and know-how with them, after Moscow sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022. Governments in Europe and the United States are growing increasingly wary of Chinese dominance in the EV sector but Russia, rather than imposing tariffs, is embracing Chinese brands across all automobile sectors to prop up its car industry.
