FMC ranked in top 10% of companies globally and
8th in Materials and Chemicals Industry
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 7, 2023
/PRNewswire/ --
FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC), a leading global agricultural
sciences company, was recently recognized for its excellence in
Environment, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG), ranking among
the top U.S. companies on Newsweek's 2024 Most Responsible
Companies list for the third consecutive year. The company jumped
an impressive 75 spots to rank 60 out of a total of 600 companies.
FMC is ranked 8th in the Materials and Chemicals
industry and is the only crop protection company to make the
list.
"For more than a decade, FMC has prioritized sustainability
across our business," says Julie
DiNatale, vice president and chief sustainability officer.
"Our holistic approach to ESG continues to create value for all FMC
stakeholders, whether it's driving efficiencies in our operations,
bringing climate-smart solutions to growers or ensuring the
wellbeing of employees and people across our supply chain. We are
very proud to see our efforts recognized as we continue our
journey."
America's Most Responsible Companies were selected based on
publicly available key performance indicators derived from
Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability reports as well
as an independent survey asking U.S. residents about their
perception of company activities. The final list recognizes the top
600 most responsible companies in the U.S. across 14
industries.
FMC's dedication to environmental and social responsibility has
also been recognized across the investment community, including by
Bloomberg, which as of October 2023,
ranked FMC first in the agricultural chemicals industry for
performance on material ESG issues. Analysts cite the company's
industry-leading net-zero by 2035 target, which was verified by the
Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) earlier this year, as well
as strong corporate and ESG governance as indicators of FMC's
leadership in this space.
Additional information about FMC's sustainability goals and
progress is available in its 2022 Sustainability Report.
