This year marks the 16th time Deere has been recognized on this list, underscoring the company’s commitment to ethical corporate citizenship to provide the food, fuel, fibre, and infrastructure to support a growing global population – and to help Deere’s customers do their jobs more sustainably.
The company says that sustainability is rooted firmly at the core of Deere’s operations from business strategies and processes to technology development. In its recently announced
2022 Sustainability Report, Deere showcased progress towards delivering more sustainable solutions for customers, dealers, shareholders, and supported communities. This includes the company’s recently announced ExactShot on-planter fertilizer system, which allows farmers to reduce the amount of starter fertilizer needed during planting by more than 60%.
“We are honoured to be recognized as one of the 2023 World’s Most Ethical Companies. This honour reinforces the importance of conducting business ethically and sustainably. As we continue our Smart Industrial journey, we encourage everyone to foster a culture of innovation, inclusion, and integrity each day. Thank you to our employees who continue to make John Deere a great place to work,” said Josh Jepsen, Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer.
