Ryder Recognized for Corporate Social Responsibility Leadership by Newsweek

Ryder System, a leader in commercial fleet management, dedicated transportation, and supply chain solutions, has been named by Newsweek to its inaugural list of “America’s Most Responsible Companies” for 2020 for its ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility related to the environment, social causes, and corporate governance (ESG).

“Ryder is fully committed to ensuring responsible business practices that align with our values and the values of our customers so it’s rewarding when respected organizations recognize our CSR progress leadership,” said Robert Sanchez, Ryder Chairman and CEO.

“From reducing our carbon footprint by providing sustainable and cost-effective solutions to fostering diversity and inclusion at all levels, we’re always striving to do better for our customers, our employees, the environment, and the communities in which we operate. This first-ever recognition by Newsweek affirms the results we’ve accomplished thus far, and we will continue to strive forward and explore new ways to be a better neighbor and corporate partner where our nearly 40,000 employees live and work.”

To select America’s Most Responsible Companies, Newsweek partnered with global data research firm Statista Inc. to conduct a deep analysis consisting of an independent survey among 6,500 U.S. citizens and research based on publicly available key performance indicators (KPI) derived from Corporate Annual Reports, CSR Reports, Sustainability Reports, and Corporate Citizenship Reports. The KPIs focused on company performance in environmental, social, and corporate governance areas; the survey measured perception of a company’s corporate social responsibility efforts.

From a universe of 2,000 public companies, Ryder ultimately ranked No. 228 on Newsweek’s list of 300 winners. The full list of ranked companies can be found at https://www.newsweek.com/americas-most-responsible-companies-2020.

“Our list of America’s Most Responsible Companies highlights the firms that are best when it comes to doing good,” said Nancy Cooper, Newsweek’s Global Editor in Chief. “Congratulations to everyone at Ryder for earning this recognition.”
