LAS VEGAS—(June 8, 2015)—Wynn Resorts, Ltd. (NASDAQ:WYNN) was ranked number 100 out of 500 companies on Newsweek Magazine’s 2015 list of “Top Green Companies in the U.S.” The ranking is based on research by Corporate Knights Capital and HIP (Human Impact + Profit) Investor Inc. and considers eight environmental performance indicators, including Energy Productivity, Water Productivity and Carbon Productivity, among others.
