Hasbro put out a press release announcing the recognition it acheived:

Hasbro is proud to announce it ranked No. 3 on Newsweek's 2017 Green Rankings, which assesses the 500 largest publicly traded companies in the United States on overall environmental performance. Hasbro scored perfect 100 percent scores in the categories of: Energy, Waste, Water and Carbon Productivity.

Hasbro recently announced new 2025 coporate environmental goals:

Reduce waste to landfill at owned/operated facilities by 50 percent, based on a 2015 baseline year.
Reduce water consumption at owned/operated facilities by 15 percent, based on a 2015 baseline year.
Reduce energy consumption at owned/operated facilities by 20 percent, based on a 2015 baseline year.
Reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at owned/operated facilities by 20 percent, based on a 2015 baseline year.

Hasbro also noted other recognition received this year:

ranked No. 1 on the 100 Best Corporate Citizens list for 2017 by CR Magazine

and

recognized as a 2017 World's Most Ethical Company® by the Ethisphere Institute, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices

This is obviously mostly due to the elimination of the vac-metalization process from Star Wars action figures. Crappier Threepio figures means a safer planet for everyone!
