OSHKOSH, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE: OSK) today announced that it has once again
been named one of Barron’s “100 Most Sustainable Companies.” First
launched in February 2018, this ranking highlights U.S. companies who
are leading the way in environmental, social and corporate governance
factors.
The Barron’s ranking was created in partnership with Calvert
Research and Management, an arm of Eaton Vance. They focused on the
1,000 largest publicly traded companies by market value that are
headquartered in the United States. The group then reviewed and rated
each company based on five stakeholder categories: shareholders,
employees, customers, planet and community. Looking at more than 230
performance indicators throughout this process, Calvert rated each
company between 0-100 in each category and then calculated the company’s
overall rating. Oshkosh Corporation came in at number 17 on the list.
“In the Oshkosh Corporation Family, we view sustainability holistically.
It’s embedded into our strategic planning, manufacturing operations,
community engagement efforts and is part of our People First culture,”
said Ignacio A. Cortina, Oshkosh Corporation Executive Vice President,
General Counsel and Secretary. “Receiving this award for the second
consecutive year highlights our commitment to sustainability excellence.”
In addition to being named one of the Top 100 “Most Sustainable
Companies,” Oshkosh Corporation is proud to be included in The
Sustainability Yearbook 2019. Daniel Wild, PhD, Co-CEO of
RobecoSAM stated: “We congratulate Oshkosh Corporation for
achieving a place in The Sustainability Yearbook 2019, a showcase of the
world’s best performing companies among industry peers and in terms of
financially material ESG metrics. Launched this year under the SAM brand
and now with increased public access to the percentile rankings of all
companies, the Yearbook remains a highly credible source of corporate
sustainability insights.”
