“ADM has a foundational culture of execution and innovation, but even more important is the unwavering commitment our colleagues to deliver our purpose to unlock the power of nature to enrich the quality of life. Awards like this are a true reflection of how our teams live out our values every day, and I’m immensely proud of our colleagues around the world for earning this honor once again.”

said Chairman and CEO Juan Luciano.

The 100 Best Corporate Citizens ranking is based on 155 ESG factors in eight pillars: climate change, employee relations, environment, finance, governance, human rights, stakeholders and society, and ESG performance.

Using a methodology developed by 3BL Media, all Russell 1000 Index companies are researched by ISS ESG, the responsible investment research arm of Institutional Shareholder Services. There is no fee for companies to be included in 100 Best Corporate Citizens.

To compile the ranking, corporate data and information is obtained from publicly available sources only, rather than questionnaires or company submissions. Companies have the option to verify data collected for the ranking at no cost. Data and information used in the 2022 edition of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens ranking is from March 19, 2021 to March 18, 2022.

“Achieving the transformational targets in the Paris Agreement and UN Sustainable Development Goals in this decisive decade requires all companies to truly embed ESG issues into the core of their business. The 100 Best Corporate Citizens of 2022 are answering the call by demonstrating the societal and bottom-line value of leadership and transparency around ESG topics. They are setting ambitious goals, outlining robust strategies for achieving them, disclosing data to measure progress, and accounting for all stakeholders in business decisions.”

said Dave Armon, CEO of 3BL Media.

Community Hero

Now in its fourth edition, the Community Hero Challenge is an opportunity to highlight and commemorate individuals making a positive impact in their communities across the country.

With over 100 entries last year from towns like Pugwash, Nova Scotia and Alida, Saskatchewan, Kubota, and the CFL aim to strengthen local bonds and showcase people who help and support their towns.

Previous contest winners like Robert Morse (Quebec City) from last year’s Community Hero Farm Edition were rewarded with exclusive Grey Cup trips and experiences to host cities. Despite the impact of COVID-19 and uncertainty, Kubota and the CFL believe there is still a way to show gratitude and appreciation for hardworking heroes making a difference.

For this edition of the Community Hero, three winners will be selected by a committee composed of Kubota and CFL’s executives. The chosen Community Heroes will receive a CFL x Kubota Special Edition Broil-King Regal PRO BBQ set. These high-quality BBQ units are ideal for a family to get together.

“There are plenty of heroes in our communities that deserve our thanks. So this year more than ever, Kubota in partnership with our friends at the CFL, is very proud to provide the opportunity for people who have a positive impact on others to be nominated and recognized through our Community Hero program,” 

said Rob Allison, Brand Director for Kubota Canada Ltd.
