ITT Corporation (NYSE: ITT) announced it was named among the top U.S. publicly traded companies in the 2011 Newsweek Green Rankings. ITT has been recognized for its commitment to environmentally responsible practices by the rankings since their launch in 2009.

ITT was honored as a leading company for its programs and policies to reduce overall environmental impact and was listed in the top 150 of all 500 U.S. corporations recognized. Since the program’s inception, ITT has maintained its spot on the annual rankings for the company’s continued commitment to sustainable, responsible practices.

The Green Rankings are based on an overall Green Score derived from three main criteria: environmental footprint, environmental management and environmental disclosure. To produce the 2011 list, Newsweek collaborated with leading environmental research organizations Trucost and Sustainalytic. The scores are based on a compilation of data and comprehensive assessment of each company’s environmental policies and initiatives. The results and methodology are reviewed by an independent advisory panel including experts in environmental practices and members of the business community.
