Tractor Supply Makes Newsweek’s 2023 Most Responsible Companies List

Tractor Supply Company, which also owns Petsense by Tractor Supply, has been recognized on Newsweek’s 2023 list of America’s Most Responsible Companies. The list, now in its fourth year of publication, highlights companies that “step up” when it comes to being an excellent corporate citizen. Tractor Supply was also featured as one of America’s Most Responsible Companies in 2022.

“At Tractor Supply, our culture is deeply rooted in our mission and values. These principles underpin our longstanding commitment to being responsible stewards of Life Out Here,” said Hal Lawton, President and CEO at Tractor Supply Company. “We are proud of the investments we have made in our team and communities. We strongly believe that this commitment has enabled us to deliver long-term sustainable value to our shareholders. It is an honor to receive this recognition.”

To create the Most Responsible Companies list, Newsweek, in conjunction with global research and data firm Statista, assessed publicly available key performance indicators (KPIs) derived from CSR and sustainability reports. The KPIs focused on company performance in the areas of environmental, social and corporate governance.

Additionally, an independent survey was conducted to evaluate companies’ reputations by asking US citizens about their perception of company activities related to corporate social responsibility. The final list recognizes the top 500 most responsible companies in the U.S., spanning 14 industries.

Tractor Supply was ranked 213th out of 500 companies on this year’s list and eighth within the retail sector. The retailer was previously ranked 244th and eighth, respectively. Follow this link to review the complete list.
