cdp regulatory

"Ingersoll Rand earns “A List” rating from CDP in the environmental stewardship"

CDP is a global nonprofit that runs a standardized program for companies to report their greenhouse gas emissions, climate risks and environmental plans; think of it as a common scorecard for a company’s impact on the climate and natural resources. Investors use CDP disclosures and scores to compare companies’ environmental performance, assess long‑term risks and spot where management is preparing for stricter regulations or shifting markets, similar to checking a car’s safety ratings before buying.

dow jones sustainability indices financial

"Dow Jones Best-in-Class Indices (previously the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices)."

A group of stock market benchmarks that track publicly traded companies judged strong on environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices. Think of them as a sustainability report card and shopping list combined: they highlight firms that score well on issues like pollution, worker treatment and corporate oversight, and investors use them to find, compare or benchmark “sustainable” investments and to manage reputational or long‑term risk.

s&p global corporate sustainability assessment financial

"Ranked #1 in North America and in the top 5% globally within the Machinery"

An annual evaluation that scores a company’s environmental, social and governance performance — like a report card for how well a business manages risks such as pollution, worker treatment, supply-chain issues and board oversight. Investors use the results to compare companies on long-term resilience and risk exposure, inform portfolio selection and screening, and decide which firms are more likely to avoid costly controversies or benefit from sustainability-driven opportunities.

greenhouse gas technical

"for its greenhouse gas reduction, sustainable product design, and climate"

Gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide that trap heat in the atmosphere like a blanket, causing global temperatures to rise. For investors they matter because regulation, carbon pricing, physical damage from extreme weather and changing consumer preferences can alter a company’s costs, profits and long‑term value, so measuring and managing these emissions affects financial risk and opportunity.

"as #2 overall on the 3BL Media’s 100 Best Corporate Citizens of 2025 list."

An annual ranked list naming the top 100 companies judged to be strong corporate citizens based on factors like environmental stewardship, treatment of employees, community engagement, and transparent governance. Think of it as a report card that highlights firms likely to manage risks, maintain reputation, and attract long‑term customers and talent—signals investors use to gauge durability and potential for steadier returns over time.
