DUBLIN,
Ohio, Oct. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardinal
Health (NYSE: CAH) has been named among the 100 Best Corporate
Citizens, a prestigious annual ranking by 3BL Media that
assesses the environmental, social and governance (ESG)
transparency and performance of the 1,000 largest public companies
in the U.S.
"We're honored to be included among the 100 Best Corporate
Citizens," said Cardinal Health CEO Jason Hollar. "Our ESG
work is aligned with our business strategy and helps position
Cardinal Health as a partner of choice to our customers and
suppliers. I'm grateful to our 48,000 employees around the globe
who provide the products and services that enable our customers to
best care for their patients, and help to drive our ESG priorities
forward."
Added Megan Maltenfort, VP of ESG at Cardinal Health, "We
are committed to doing our part to ensure a fair, equitable and
livable planet into the future. We are thrilled to be recognized as
a Best Corporate Citizen, and we look forward to sharing more in
our fiscal 2023 ESG Report, scheduled for publication in
January."
The 100 Best Corporate Citizens ranking is based on 184 ESG
factors across seven pillars: climate change, employee relations,
environment, governance, human rights, stakeholders and society,
and ESG performance. Cardinal Health performed particularly well in
the areas of human rights and stakeholders and society, which is
attributable to the company's supplier ESG due diligence program
and strong corporate governance over ESG matters.
The list ranks companies in the Russell 1000 Index based on
research by ISS ESG, the responsible investment research arm of
Institutional Shareholder Services. Information for the 100 Best
Corporate Citizens list is compiled exclusively from publicly
available resources.
Details about Cardinal Health's ESG work and progress can be
found in the company's fiscal 2022 ESG Report, which was published
in January 2023.
