To compile the list, IBD screened Dow Jones' ESG ratings, which included over 6,000 companies. To narrow the field to the top 100, IBD sought out the top 15% of the 2,360 companies whose stock price was $10 or higher and traded in the U.S. Companies were then vetted for having an IBD Composite Rating of 85 or better followed by Relative Strength Rating and EPS Rating. Finally, companies were ranked by Dow Jones ESG data.

"The IBD ranking is based on a unique combination of ESG and financial metrics," said Timothy J. Donahue, President and Chief Executive Officer of ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ. "We are honored to be recognized for our strong performance in both areas. Just over a year ago, we debuted our robust Twentyby30 program to elevate our commitment to sustainability and set a bold agenda for the next decade. We know we are on the right track with our efforts, taking the appropriate steps to remain a sustainability leader among our peers and achieve the goals important to our internal and external stakeholders. We look forward to accelerating our progress and fostering meaningful change today and into the future."

• In 2021, ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ joined The Climate Pledge, a commitment to be net-zero carbon across its operations by 2040, ten years ahead of The Paris Agreement, and the Ellen Macarthur Foundation's Network, where the Company will help identify innovative solutions that support the transition to a circular economy.
