INTEGRATION OF FINANCIAL SUCCESS AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
BRICS 250 is a unique combination of traditional financial metrics with indicators of corporate social responsibility ( CSR ) and sustainable development . This holistic approach provides a more comprehensive picture of a company ' s success , emphasising that profitability should not come at the expense of social and environmental responsibilities . By integrating these dimensions , the ranking aims to inspire companies to excel not only in financial performance but also in their contributions to society and the planet .

FOCUS ON EMERGING MARKETS
The ranking shines a spotlight on leaders in sustainable development within emerging markets , particularly in the BRICS nations .

By highlighting exemplary companies in this region , BRICS 250 fosters a competitive environment that inspires others to adopt best practices and invest in sustainable solutions , ultimately driving progress across the developing world .
