ADM Named to 100 Best Corporate Citizens of 2020 List

3BL Media has named ADM (NYSE:ADM) to its annual 100 Best Corporate Citizens ranking, recognizing outstanding environmental, social and governance (ESG) transparency and performance among the 1,000 largest U.S. public companies.

“At ADM, we are committed to driving change through good practices, progressive solutions and mindful actions that make a positive impact in the communities where we live and work,” said Chairman and CEO Juan Luciano. “We are proud to be recognized for our continuing efforts to advance our values and execute on our commitments as we continue our work to provide access to nutrition worldwide.”

ADM recently announced ambitious new goals to reduce the company’s absolute greenhouse gas emissions and energy intensity, after meeting ADM’s original “15x20” plan to improve energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, water and waste to landfill several years ahead of schedule. The new goals were unveiled in ADM’s Corporate Sustainability Report, available for download at www.adm.com/sustainability.

The 100 Best Corporate Citizens ranking is based on 141 ESG transparency and performance factors in eight pillars: climate change, employee relations, environment, finance, governance, human rights, stakeholders and society, and ESG performance.

Using a methodology developed by 3BL Media, all Russell 1000 Index companies are researched by ISS ESG, the responsible investment research arm of Institutional Shareholder Services. There is no fee for companies to be included in 100 Best Corporate Citizens.

To compile the ranking, corporate data and information is obtained from publicly available sources only, rather than questionnaires or company submissions. Companies have the option to verify data collected for the ranking at no cost. Data and information used in the 2020 edition of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens ranking is from March 6, 2019 to March 13, 2020.

“Achieving the transformational targets in the Paris Agreement and UN Sustainable Development Goals in this decade means we need all companies to embed ESG issues into their business,” said Dave Armon, CEO of 3BL Media. “The best corporate citizens of 2020 are leaders, demonstrating how transparency, ambitious goals, robust strategies and accounting for all stakeholders builds business and social value.”
