We’re proud to share that CSRHub’s ESG ranking data has once again been featured in Site Selection magazine’s annual 2026 Sustainability Rankings, published in May and now in their 17th consecutive year. The rankings identify the countries, U.S. states, and metro areas best positioned for sustainable corporate growth, and CSRHub is glad to contribute the corporate-responsibility layer of the composite index behind them.

Site Selection’s index blends a wide set of signals — green building square footage per capita, happiness, federal Energy Star certifications, healthy workplaces, renewable-energy manufacturing, sustainability-oriented incentives, and corporate social responsibility. CSRHub supplies that last piece: an independent, consensus view of how companies in each region actually perform on ESG.

At the country level, the United States takes the No. 1 spot, with Spain (No. 2), Ireland (No. 3), Sweden (No. 5), Germany (No. 6), and the United Kingdom (No. 7) rounding out the leaders.

https://2489059.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/2489059/hubfs/blog-2026-site-selection/top_10_countries_7_26_1000x.webp?width=600&name=top_10_countries_7_26_1000x.webp

Among U.S. states, California ranks first, moving up from No. 2 last year, followed by Texas (No. 2), Colorado (No. 3), Arizona (No. 4), and North Carolina (No. 5), with Ohio also landing in the top 10.

https://2489059.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/2489059/hubfs/blog-2026-site-selection/top_10_states_7_26_1000x.webp?width=600&name=top_10_states_7_26_1000x.webp

On the metro side, the Austin–Round Rock–San Marcos area holds the No. 1 spot, pairing rapid corporate growth with strong sustainability fundamentals, while the Washington, D.C. region was one of the year’s biggest upward movers, climbing from No. 11 to No. 7.

https://2489059.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/2489059/hubfs/blog-2026-site-selection/top_10_metros_7_26_1000x.webp?width=600&name=top_10_metros_7_26_1000x.webp

The two methodologies are worth reading together precisely because they don’t always line up. Site Selection weights its factors equally, while CSRHub scores regions on its own 12 measures of sustainability performance — and the gap between the two views is often the most interesting part. A region’s incentives and green infrastructure don’t always track the on-the-ground ESG performance of the companies based there, and seeing both perspectives side by side says more than either does alone.

Each year, CSRHub examines how the corporate facility investment activity that Site Selection tracks by geography — through its Conway Projects Database — aligns with the sustainability profiles of the companies doing the investing. Matching where capital actually flows against independent ESG ratings is a powerful way to gauge whether a region is drawing sustainability-conscious investment. As the analysts at Tractus put it, “Across capital-intensive sectors, sustainability is no longer adjacent to competitiveness — it is embedded within it.”

ROCKY HILL, Conn., July 30, 2026 /3BL/ – Henkel, a leading manufacturer of well-known consumer and industrial brands such as Dial® soap, Schwarzkopf® hair care, all® laundry detergent, and Loctite®, Technomelt® and Bonderite® adhesives, sealants and functional coatings, has been recognized as a 2026 World’s Top Disability Inclusive Business based on its performance on the Disability Index®, the leading global benchmark for disability inclusion in business.

Developed by Disability:IN, the Disability Index® is the world’s leading third-party benchmarking tool for evaluating corporate disability inclusion and is used by hundreds of leading companies across the globe, evaluating disability inclusion across multiple areas of business using a structured, data-driven methodology that enables consistent benchmarking across companies and industries.

Henkel’s programs and accommodations for people with disabilities were a strong factor in this recognition, including the continued work of its Awareness of Visible and Invisible Disabilities (AVID) Employee Resource Group. Led by passionate employee volunteers, AVID advances accessibility and inclusion by providing support and resources while creating opportunities for learning. Recent activities include:

• Expanded awareness of inclusive communication by providing sign language resources and educational materials.
• Partnered with Henkel’s IT team to host accessibility learning sessions and highlighted digital tools that support different audio/visual needs.

“We’re honored to receive this recognition because it reflects our commitment to creating a workplace where every employee can thrive. I’m especially proud of our AVID members, whose passion continues to strengthen accessibility, increase awareness and foster empathy and connections across our organization.” said Robert McNamee, Chief Legal Officer, Henkel North America and Executive Sponsor of AVID Employee Resource Group. “At Henkel, we remain committed to the ongoing learning and action to strengthen our culture of belonging so all employees feel valued, respected and empowered to do their best and shape the future.” 

The Disability Index is trusted by over 70% of the Fortune 100 and nearly half of the Fortune 500 and provides data-driven insights to assess performance, identify opportunities, and drive continuous improvement over time.

“This year’s Disability Index shows that leading companies are embedding disability inclusion into the core of how they operate. It’s shaping how businesses design products, build trust, and drive innovation. The companies leading today are the ones building more adaptable, resilient, and future-ready organizations,” said Jill Houghton, President and CEO of Disability:IN.

NEW YORK, July 30, 2026 /3BL/ – Sustainability consulting and research firm Governance & Accountability Institute (G&A) and global law firm Ropes & Gray have released new research on interactions between sustainability and legal teams within companies, at a time of increasing sustainability-related regulation and oversight.

The report, titled Side by Side: Sustainability and Legal – A Look Inside Two Corporate Functions Navigating Complexity & Uncertainty Together, finds that regulation is driving greater collaboration and re-ordering of reporting lines. While the stakes and demands are rising, corporate sustainability teams and sustainability-focused legal teams continue to be quite lean, requiring professionals to wear many hats and make the most of limited resources. All of this makes effective cross-functional collaboration more important, and the results of our engagement clearly indicate that this has already begun and all signs point to it continuing to increase.

The researchers engaged sustainability and legal professionals from 35 leading companies across a range of industries through a structured survey and in-depth interviews. Our engagement took place between September 2025 and February 2026, a time marked by the ramp-up and subsequent pause of portions of California’s climate disclosure laws, the stay of the climate-related disclosure rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), revisions to the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and other reversals and evolutions. Taking stock of corporate teams’ experiences during this time revealed that the work of corporate sustainability has changed dramatically in just the past few years.

In light of these rising demands and quickly changing expectations, it is clear that sustainability is increasingly intertwined with compliance and legal concerns. Amidst the pressures and uncertainties, the story that emerges is one of greater functional overlap between sustainability and compliance, and as a result, sustainability and legal teams adapting quickly. This means increasingly working hand-in-hand, and navigating the benefits and challenges that emerge as they do so.

The report details:

• Current state of sustainability-focused teams
• Which regulations are most responsible for the increase in pressure on sustainability and legal teams
• Specific risks companies see increasing
• Reported benefits and challenges of collaboration
• Current gaps in support for in-house teams
• Actions that can improve collaboration between sustainability and legal teams

Louis Coppola, Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder at G&A, remarked, “In G&A’s 20 years advising companies at the intersection of sustainability and governance, we’ve watched this collaboration between sustainability and legal teams grow into one of the defining operational questions for corporate sustainability programs — 39% of the sustainability functions in our research now report into legal, 87% of sustainability leaders told us regulation has increased their interactions with legal in the past year alone, and not one expects their role in this work to decrease. What stands out most is the alignment: put a sustainability leader and a chief legal officer in the same room and they largely tell you the same things about what they need. G&A is ready to help companies use these findings to build stronger, more effective collaboration between these two functions.”

Michael Littenberg, Partner and Global Head of the ESG, CSR and Business and Human Rights Compliance Practice at global law firm Ropes & Gray, added, “We are delighted to have partnered with G&A on this important piece of research. It confirms trends we are seeing in the market and will help companies with their future planning and efforts to build an effective, efficient sustainability compliance function.”

The report is available through G&A’s research hub.

WOONSOCKET, R.I., July 30, 2026 /3BL/ – CVS Health® (NYSE: CVS) today announced that it has been named Overall Winner and earned four gold awards at the 2026 US Customer Experience Awards (USCXA26), the country’s premier independent recognition program for CX excellence.

Competing against organizations across industries, CVS Health secured top honors in four categories: Best Use of AI, Best Measurement in CX, Best Employee Engagement, and Customers at the Heart of Everything — a sweep that underscores the company’s commitment to delivering human-centered, data-driven care at scale. CVS Health was also named this year’s Overall Winner, USCXA26’s top distinction recognizing the strongest performance among all category winners in the program. The 2026 US Customer Experience Awards recognize organizations that demonstrate excellence, innovation, and measurable impact in customer experience. Awards are determined by an independent panel of judges following rigorous evaluation of submitted entries.

The “Best Use of AI” award is for innovation in developing and deploying agentic twins. With 65,000 active agentic twins already deployed, the platform is a strategic decision support tool. The “Best Measurement in CX” award is for a proprietary machine-learning framework that replaced a survey-only methodology with a predictive engine that now covers nearly 100% of the active member population. The “Best Employee Engagement” award is for the Customer Experience Everyday Heroes program, which recognizes frontline colleagues exclusively through verified consumer feedback from survey submissions. And the “Customer at the Heart of Everything” award is for the Connection Counts framework, the Little Things & Customer Kudos initiative that transformed passive survey feedback into proactive, empathy-led outreach.

“Being named Overall Winner, on top of four gold awards, reflects what our team has built with purpose and precision: a CX ecosystem that places the consumer at the center of every decision,” said Sri Narasimhan, VP of Enterprise Customer Experience and Insights, CVS Health. “Whether we are deploying cutting-edge AI to simulate the needs of our most vulnerable patients, or hand-delivering a care package to someone navigating a terminal diagnosis, everything we do is grounded in the belief that every single person deserves to feel heard.”

Across New Jersey, families are looking for ways to lower energy costs, access support and prepare for the future. From helping nearly 500,000 customers improve energy efficiency to investing billions in stronger infrastructure and supporting nonprofits statewide, we’re working every day to help communities stay ready for what’s next.

We work across our service territory to support the people and communities who rely on us — through energy efficiency programs, infrastructure investments, nonprofit partnerships and the actions of employees who step up when it matters most.

Here’s a look at some of the ways we’ve been helping customers, supporting communities and preparing New Jersey for the future.

How are we supporting nonprofits and local communities?

Strong communities depend on strong local organizations. Through the PSEG Foundation’s Neighborhood Partners Program, nonprofits across New Jersey and Long Island receive funding to help families access critical services and resources.

Since the program launched in 2014, nearly $9.8 million in funding has supported more than 825 nonprofit organizations across New Jersey and Long Island.

At PSEG, caring for our communities means supporting organizations that help people access essential services and navigate everyday challenges.”

– Calvin Ledford Jr., president of the PSEG Foundation and director of Corporate Social Responsibility

The PSEG Foundation is now accepting applications for the 2026 Neighborhood Partners Program, which will distribute $1.2 million in grants ranging from $500 to $15,000, until June 30, 2026.

Funding priorities include:

• Food assistance
• Workforce development
• Housing support
• Wraparound family services

You can also learn more about energy assistance resources available through:

• SHARES Nation

New Jersey Department of Community Affairs Energy Assistance Programs

• Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
• Universal Service Fund (USF)

Customers looking for assistance programs and community resources can also visit pseg.com/Help for additional support options and eligibility information.

How are we helping customers manage energy use and costs? 

Across New Jersey, customers are looking for practical ways to better manage energy use and reduce monthly costs. Through our energy efficiency programs, hundreds of thousands of customers are taking steps to improve comfort at home and at work while lowering energy use.

Approximately 500,000 customers have participated in our energy efficiency programs designed to help reduce energy waste and improve efficiency. Those efforts are now delivering nearly $960 million in annual bill savings.

Our programs have also:

• Helped about 22,000 businesses improve energy efficiency
• Supported more than 9,300 jobs
• Expanded access to home and business energy upgrades across New Jersey

Programs like Whole Home Energy Assessments, Home Weatherization and Small Business Direct Install are designed to help customers make practical improvements that reduce energy use while improving comfort at home and at work.

You can also learn more about available programs, rebates and energy-saving tools at pseg.com/SaveEnergy and through additional resources below:

• New Jersey Board of Public Utilities energy efficiency programs
  • Residential Programs
  • Business Programs
• U.S. Department of Energy Saver Guide

Whether customers are looking for quick ways to save energy or larger home upgrades, these programs are designed to meet people where they are and provide practical solutions that can make a real difference on monthly bills.

How are employees stepping up beyond their day-to-day work?

For many of our employees, helping the community goes beyond their day-to-day responsibilities.

While driving to a service call in Union, New Jersey, one of our WorryFree appliance service technicians noticed a vehicle fire on the side of the road. He safely pulled over, grabbed the fire extinguisher from his truck and helped contain the flames until emergency responders arrived.

In another case, employees working in Englewood discovered two mourning doves nestled in the back of a bucket truck before heading out for the day. The team carefully placed the birds in a lined box and transported them to The Raptor Trust Bird Rehabilitation Center in Millington.

These moments may not be part of a typical workday, but they reflect the same mindset employees bring to serving customers every day: staying ready to help when people need it most.

Learn more about how we prepare for storms and support customers year-round at pseg.com/OutageCenter.

How are we preparing New Jersey’s energy system for the future?

As severe weather events become more frequent and energy demand continues to grow, strengthening infrastructure remains an important part of delivering reliable service to customers.

PSE&G has invested billions of dollars over the last decade to modernize and strengthen New Jersey’s electric and gas systems. Those investments include upgrading substations, replacing aging infrastructure and improving grid resiliency to help communities recover faster after storms.

Since Superstorm Sandy, these investments have helped strengthen the reliability of the energy system while improving our ability to respond to increasingly frequent and severe weather events across New Jersey.

In a recent Energy Central Power Perspectives podcast, Paul Toscarelli, our vice president of Electric Operations, discussed the company’s long-term work to strengthen the grid and prepare for future energy needs across New Jersey.

The conversation focused on:

• Reliability improvements
• Storm resiliency investments
• Infrastructure modernization
• Preparing for growing energy demand

You can listen to the full Energy Central podcast episode here: Inside PSE&G’s $30B plan to storm-proof the power grid.

What does staying Jersey Ready look like year-round?

Whether it’s helping customers manage energy costs, supporting local nonprofits, investing in stronger infrastructure or recognizing employees who step up to help others, we’re focused on supporting the communities we serve every day.

Customers looking for energy-saving programs, bill assistance resources or information about our community initiatives can visit:

Because being Jersey Ready means showing up for our customers and communities in ways big and small — every day of the year.

ST. PAUL, Minn., July 30, 2026 /3BL/ – As climate disclosure requirements continue to evolve across global and state jurisdictions, the demand for reliable, verification-ready greenhouse gas (GHG) data has never been greater. Increasingly, state and global regulations such as California’s climate disclosure laws and the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) are placing an emphasis on independently assured emissions data, making trusted, audit-ready inventories a critical element of corporate sustainability strategies.

In response to this growing need, Antea Group USA, is pleased to announce that it now offers limited assurance support for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions as part of its Carbon and Climate Advisory Services Line.

This expanded capability enables organizations to strengthen the credibility of their emissions data, enhance transparency with stakeholders, and prepare for third-party assurance engagements with confidence.

“We’re seeing a clear shift in the market,” says Dr. Susan Lewis, Senior Consultant and Carbon and Climate Advisory Services Lead at Antea Group USA. “Stakeholders are no longer asking only whether companies measure their emissions; they’re asking whether those numbers can be trusted. Limited assurance provides an independent assessment of reported emissions data, helping organizations strengthen credibility, meet evolving disclosure requirements, and build confidence among investors, customers, and regulators. As regulations such as California’s climate disclosure laws and the CSRD raise expectations for GHG emissions data transparency and reliability, assurance is increasingly becoming a key element of credible climate data disclosures and reporting.”

In addition to limited assurance, Antea Group offers a range of services to support clients on their climate, sustainability, and ESG journey, including:

• Decarbonization Planning: Developing practical roadmaps to reduce emissions and achieve climate targets over time. 
• Climate Reporting and Disclosure: Supporting corporate climate disclosures aligned with frameworks such as CDP, TCFD, and emerging regulatory requirements. 
• Climate Risk Assessment: Evaluating physical and transition climate risks that may affect operations, assets, supply chains, and long-term business strategy. 

These services build on Antea Group’s broader climate and carbon accounting capabilities, which include emissions inventory management, reporting strategy development, and regulatory disclosure support.

“We’re seeing a clear shift in the market,” says Dr. Susan Lewis, Senior Consultant and Carbon and Climate Advisory Services Lead at Antea Group USA. “Stakeholders are no longer asking only whether companies measure their emissions; they’re asking whether those numbers can be trusted. Limited assurance provides an independent assessment of reported emissions data, helping organizations strengthen credibility, meet evolving disclosure requirements, and build confidence among investors, customers, and regulators. As regulations such as California’s climate disclosure laws and the CSRD raise expectations for GHG emissions data transparency and reliability, assurance is increasingly becoming a key element of credible climate data disclosures and reporting.”

In addition to limited assurance, Antea Group offers a range of services to support clients on their climate, sustainability, and ESG journey, including:

• Decarbonization Planning: Developing practical roadmaps to reduce emissions and achieve climate targets over time. 
• Climate Reporting and Disclosure: Supporting corporate climate disclosures aligned with frameworks such as CDP, TCFD, and emerging regulatory requirements. 
• Climate Risk Assessment: Evaluating physical and transition climate risks that may affect operations, assets, supply chains, and long-term business strategy. 

These services build on Antea Group’s broader climate and carbon accounting capabilities, which include emissions inventory management, reporting strategy development, and regulatory disclosure support.
