Greenest Tech Companies List Released (PHOTOS)

The 30 Greenest Tech Companies

Newsweek has compiled a list of the world's 30 greenest tech companies as part of its 2011 Green Rankings. Some of them you may recognize from the list of the overall 15 greenest U.S. companies.

For this list, Newsweek pulled all of the tech companies, including both hardware and software makers, from its 2011 greenest companies in the world list.

The magazine partnered with two research firms, Trucost and Sustainalytics, and developed the methodology "in consultation with an advisory panel of corporate sustainability experts."

An unrelated recent study, entitled "Analysis of Small Business Innovation in Green Technologies," by the U.S. Small Business Administration found that small business leads the way in "green technology innovation" in America. According to a press release, small business only accounts for eight percent of U.S. patents, yet they account for 14 percent of green tech patents.
