Ethisphere Recognition Adds to Recent Company Distinctions

The Ethisphere recognition is one of several honors Owens Corning has earned for its corporate leadership recently, including:

  • Earning a place on the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) for the 13th consecutive year, and on the DJSI North America Index for the fifth consecutive year, with industry-leading assessment scores. The DJSI World comprises an elite listing of the world’s largest companies based on long-term ESG criteria. Owens Corning received a perfect score in risk and crisis management, materiality, environmental reporting, recycling strategy, and social reporting.
  • Achieving Gold Class distinction in the 2023 Sustainability Yearbook from S&P Global. Gold Class is the organization’s highest honor for excellence in sustainability performance, a distinction Owens Corning has earned for nine consecutive years. With its score of 88/100, Owens Corning earned a Top 1% S&P Global ESG Score designation, the only company in the Building Products category to do so. More than 7,800 companies assessed in the 2022 Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) were considered for The Sustainability Yearbook with just 67 earning a Top 1% score.
  • Placing #19 on the 2023 Barron’s 100 Most Sustainable U.S. Companies list, up from #27 in 2022. This sixth annual ranking was administered by Calvert Research and Management, which scored the 1,000 largest publicly traded companies by market value. The top 100 firms achieved the highest scores across 230 environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance indicators ranging from workplace diversity to greenhouse-gas emissions.
  • Ranking #37 on the 2022 Management Top 250 list, published by The Wall Street Journal. Developed by the Drucker Institute, this ranking measures corporate effectiveness by examining performance in five areas: customer satisfaction, employee engagement and development, innovation, social responsibility, and financial strength. The ranking is based on an analysis of 34 indicators based on data obtained from a variety of third-party sources. Owens Corning’s 2022 ranking improved by 17 spots from #54 in 2021.
  • Earning placement on CDP’s 2022 Climate Change and Water Security A Lists for its leadership in environmental transparency on climate change and water security.
