MOLINE,
Ill., March 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Deere &
Company (NYSE: DE) has been recognized as one of the 2023 World's
Most Ethical Companies® by Ethisphere, a global leader in defining
and advancing the standards of ethical business practices.
This year marks the 16th time Deere has been
recognized on this list, underscoring the company's commitment
to ethical corporate citizenship to provide the food, fuel, fiber,
and infrastructure to support a growing global population – and to
help Deere's customers do their jobs more sustainably.
In fact, sustainability is rooted firmly at the core of Deere's
operations – from business strategies and processes, to technology
development. In its recently announced 2022 Sustainability Report,
Deere showcased progress towards delivering more sustainable
solutions for customers, dealers, shareholders, and supported
communities. This includes the company's recently announced
ExactShot™ on-planter fertilizer system, which allows farmers to
reduce the amount of starter fertilizer needed during planting by
more than 60 percent.
Deere's long-term commitment to ethical business and
sustainability is also underpinned by its Leap Ambitions, which are
focused and measurable goals designed to boost economic value and
sustainability for farmers and customers. With a mission of helping
farmers do more with less, Deere promotes environmental stewardship
to protect the planet and sustain the growing needs of future
generations.
"We are honored to be recognized as one of the 2023 World's Most
Ethical Companies®. This honor reinforces the importance of
conducting business ethically and sustainably. As we continue our
Smart Industrial journey, we encourage everyone to foster a culture
of innovation, inclusion, and integrity each day. Thank you to our
employees who continue to make John Deere a great place to work,"

President & Chief Financial Officer.
