Air Products, a global industrial gases company, earns a spot on Barron's 100 Most Sustainable Companies List for the fourth consecutive year, according to the company. Air Products reportedly ranked 38th on this year's list.
"Sustainability is our growth strategy at Air Products. It is part of our higher purpose to collaborate and innovate solutions to the world's most significant energy and environmental challenges," says Seifi Ghasemi, chairman, president and CEO at Air Products. "We are proud to again be recognized for our sustainability efforts but know there is more work to be done. Air Products will continue to play a leading role in building a more sustainable future through clean energy solutions, such as hydrogen for mobility and carbon capture."
For its annual ranking of the most sustainable companies, Barron's worked with Calvert Research and Management, which analyzed the 1,000 largest publicly traded companies by market value, then ranked each by how it performed for five key constituencies: shareholders, employees, customers, community and the planet. Specifically, Calvert, a unit of Eaton Vance, which is owned by Morgan Stanley, looked at more than 230 ESG (environmental, social and governance) performance indicators, such as workplace diversity, data security and greenhouse gas emissions.
Inclusion on Barron's 100 Most Sustainable Companies List is the latest recognition for Air Products' sustainability and corporate responsibility efforts. Recently, Air Products was included in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook for the 10th time, according to the company. Air Products says it also earned a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's 2022 Corporate Equality Index for the sixth year in a row.
