These are India's 'greenest' companies

Rediff: "The survey covered eleven sectors, which included agrochem & fertiliser, auto, cement, chemical, engineering, finance, FMCG, IT, mining, oil & petroleum and pharma. The oil & petroleum sector was perceived as most environmental friendly, and the energy giants ranked the highest. The poll was carried out by ACNielsen ORG-MARG in Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai, and researched 200 shareholders to find out which companies they thought to be the greenest. The universe of companies was restricted to top 50 by market value (excluding services companies), and only the top 20 were ranked.
