This marks the company's sixth time on Barron's prestigious
list
PHOENIX, March 6,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE:
RSG), a leader in the environmental services industry, has been
named for a sixth year to Barron's 100 Most Sustainable Companies
list. Republic ranks 19th on the 2024 list, which rates companies
across 230 environmental, social and governance performance
metrics, from workplace diversity to greenhouse gas emissions.
"Our company promise is sustainability in action, which means
taking action to improve the health of the environment and our
business," said Jon Vander Ark, president and chief executive
officer. "We've set long-term sustainability goals designed to
deliver both economic and environmental sustainability while
meeting the unique needs of our customers."
The company continues to make progress toward its ambitious 2030
Sustainability Goals tied to safety, talent, climate leadership and
communities, while helping its customers meet their own
sustainability goals. Republic Services was the first U.S.
environmental services provider with a greenhouse gas reduction
goal approved by the Science Based Targets initiative and, last
year, unveiled the industry's first climate transition road
map.
To develop its 2024 list, Barron's worked with Calvert to rank
the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies by market value on

employees, customers, community and the planet. The complete 100
Most Sustainable Companies list is available at Barrons.com.
