FMC Corporation has been recognized as an industry leader in sustainability by S&P Global, earning a place in its annual Sustainability Yearbook. Currently in its 20th year, The Sustainability Yearbook aims to distinguish those companies that have demonstrated strengths in corporate sustainability. In 2023, over 9,400 companies were assessed and only 759 companies – the top 15% of each industry – were selected for inclusion in The Sustainability Yearbook 2024.
"We have made tremendous progress over the last several years, and this recognition is a testament not only to the efforts of our global sustainability team, but also to the support and involvement of functions and teams across FMC, said Julie DiNatale, vice president and chief sustainability officer. "Whether it is expanding market opportunities for sustainable products or driving efficiencies in our operations, we are committed to sustainable business practices that have a positive impact and position FMC for the future. We are very happy to see this important work being recognized.”
S&P Global's Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) spans a broad range of environmental, social and governance topics, from disclosures to internal company actions. The recognition highlights FMC's commitment to transparency and ongoing efforts to embed sustainability throughout its business strategy and value chain.
This is the latest in a series of jumps in ESG ratings for FMC. The company recently received an A for Water Security and A- for Climate from CDP, was upgraded to an A by MSCI, and was recognized by Bloomberg as a leader in the agricultural chemicals industry for performance on material ESG issues. FMC was also recognized as an Equality 100 Leader in LGBTQ+ Inclusion by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, and earned the distinction of being one of America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity in 2024 by Newsweek.
