Factual Their own work or organisation

“Being named the world’s most sustainable energy company for now three years in a row, it’s our aspiration to be a globally recognised sustainability leader”

Mads Nipper, Group President and CEO of Ørsted 2 June 2021 Ørsted accelerates growth to realise its full potential as a global green energy major (GlobeNewswire (Ørsted))

Ørsted has been named the world's most sustainable energy company three years in a row.

Mixed Partly true and partly false in roughly equal measure.

The second judge would not resolve this claim; the verdict shown is the first judge's.

Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.

What would count as true or false

True if, by June 2021, Ørsted had been ranked the most sustainable energy company in the world in Corporate Knights' Global 100 index (or an equivalent recognised ranking) in three consecutive years, e.g. 2019, 2020 and 2021. Mostly true if it was named top in its sector for three consecutive years but under slightly different phrasing, e.g. 'most sustainable energy company' as distinct from top overall. Mixed if it was named only two years in a row. Mostly false if it was named once. False if it was never so named.

Evidence

  1. 2020 Global 100 ranking | Corporate Knights Corporate Knights · 21 January 2020
    “| 1 | 4 | Orsted A/S | Wholesale Power | Denmark | 85.20% |”
  2. 2021 Global 100 ranking | Corporate Knights Corporate Knights · 25 January 2021
    “| 2 | 1 | Ørsted A/S | Denmark | 1.5°C, SBTi | 82.7% |”
  3. 2019 Global 100 results | Corporate Knights Corporate Knights · 22 January 2019
    “| 4 | Ørsted | Wholesale Power | Denmark | 80.13% |”

Reasoning

Corporate Knights ranked Ørsted 1st overall in the 2020 Global 100 [E1]. In 2021 it ranked 2nd behind Schneider Electric, which is not an energy company, so it plausibly remained the top energy company [E2]. In 2019 it ranked 4th overall behind Chr. Hansen [E3], and the evidence does not show whether the companies ranked 2nd and 3rd were energy companies. Only two consecutive years of top energy-company standing are supported, so the third year is unconfirmed.
