Ranked 58 of 500, this recognition marks Ingevity’s debut on Newsweek’s annual list. The company ranked 10th in the Materials and Chemicals category and was number one among public companies based in South Carolina.

America’s Most Responsible Companies were screened from a pool of the top 2,000 public companies by revenue with headquarters in the US and ranked based on publicly available key performance indicators (KPIs) as well as an independent survey. The KPIs focused on company performance in the environmental, social and corporate governance areas, while the independent survey asked citizens about their perception of company activities related to corporate social responsibility. Statista, a leading global provider of market and consumer data, provided the analysis for Newsweek.

“I am proud of the work our team has done to earn recognition on Newsweek’s list of America’s Most Responsible Companies 2023,” said Ingevity president and CEO, John Fortson. “Ingevity was founded with a purpose to create renewably sourced products that safeguard the health of our world, and this award publicly affirms the positive impact of our 100-year sustainability legacy as well as the environmental, social and corporate governance contributions we are making in support of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).”

Ingevity joined the UN Global Compact as a participant in 2022, affirming the company’s alignment with the ten universally accepted principles for human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption, and committing to responsible business actions that support the SDGs. Information on Ingevity’s environmental, social and governance initiatives and the UN SDGs can be found on the company’s website and in the annual sustainability report.
