Tractor Supply Named to IBD’s 100 Best ESG Companies Of 2021

Tractor Supply Company, which also owns and operates Petsense, has been named to Investor’s Business Daily’s (IBD) 100 Best ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) Companies of 2021. This recognition is the first time the company has been featured on the annual list.

“Tractor Supply has a longstanding commitment to sustainability and stewardship of our resources. Our ESG initiatives are a top priority for the company and one we view as a process of continuous improvement,” said Hal Lawton, Tractor Supply’s President and CEO. “We know that our efforts to reduce our impact on the environment, support the communities we call home and promote sound governance practices are essential for a prosperous future. We are incredibly honored to receive this distinguished recognition from IBD.”

All of IBD’s Best 100 ESG Companies of 2021 mix profitability with ethical and social responsibility. To come up with this list, IBD first screened Dow Jones’ ESG ratings, which included more than 6,000 companies. To choose the top 100, IBD looked for the top 15 percent of the 2,360 companies whose stock price was $10 or higher and traded in the US. They then screened companies with IBD Composite Rating of 85 or better followed by Relative Strength Rating and EPS Rating. Finally, companies were ranked by Dow Jones ESG data.

In September, Tractor Supply announced new, robust ESG goals to further reduce carbon emissions from its operations as well as new diversity, equity and inclusion goals (DE&I). These goals include a commitment to achieve net zero emissions across all operations by 2040. To learn more about Tractor Supply’s ESG initiatives and reporting, click here.
