TIME and Statista looked at 750 companies. They wanted to find the most sustainable companies in the world.

TIME 與 Statista 研究了 750 家公司，旨在找出世界上最永續的企業。

Main Body

Some countries have fewer green laws now. Some countries have wars. But many companies still want to protect nature. They do this because a bad planet is bad for business.

目前有些國家的環保法規較少，有些國家正處於戰爭之中。但許多公司仍希望保護自然，因為地球環境惡化對商業不利。

Some companies are very good at this. Companies that make electric power are leaders. Luxury companies use expensive prices to buy recycled materials. Green energy is now cheaper than oil and gas.

有些公司在這一點上表現優異。電力公司是領導者。奢侈品牌則利用高昂的價格來購買回收材料。現在綠色能源已經比石油和天然氣更便宜。

New rules in Europe mean companies must show their carbon data. They must also show how they use water. Companies that are green often make more money than companies that are not green.

歐洲的新規定意味著公司必須披露其碳排放數據，還必須顯示其用水情況。綠色企業通常比非綠色企業賺更多錢。

TIME and Statista used four steps to find these companies. They removed companies that cut down forests. They checked if companies were honest about their work and if they had women in leadership.

TIME 與 Statista 採取四個步驟來尋找這些公司。他們剔除了砍伐森林的公司，並檢查公司是否誠實對待其工作，以及領導層中是否有女性。

Conclusion

Politics change, but green business is good for money and safety.

政治會改變，但綠色商業對獲利與安全都有益處。

💡 Comparing Things (More vs. Less)

In this text, we see how to compare two things to show a difference. This is a key skill for A2 English.

1. The "More" Pattern When something has a higher amount, we use More + Word.

  • Example: "...make more money than companies that are not green."
  • Pattern: More [Thing] →\rightarrow Higher amount.

2. The "Fewer" Pattern When we talk about things we can count (like laws, books, or people) and the amount is lower, we use Fewer.

  • Example: "Some countries have fewer green laws now."
  • Pattern: Fewer [Countable Thing] →\rightarrow Lower amount.

3. The "Cheaper" Pattern For short words, we add -er to the end to compare two things.

  • Example: "Green energy is now cheaper than oil and gas."
  • Cheap →\rightarrow Cheaper

Quick Summary for Your Brain:

  • More = ↑\uparrow
  • Fewer = ↓\downarrow
  • Cheaper = \ \downarrow$
