RS Group earns three new ESG accolades
RS Group's commitment to ESG leadership continues to impress, earning 2025 recognition on the CDP A List, a third consecutive EcoVadis Platinum medal, and a second consecutive listing in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook. FORT WORTH, Texas, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- RS, a high-service global product and service solutions provider for industrial customers, continues to achieve ambitious environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals and has already earned three new accolades in 2025: an improved 2024 CDP A List rating, a third consecutive EcoVadis Platinum medal, and a second consecutive listing in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook. The CDP A List rating places RS amongst the top 2% of disclosing companies. The third consecutive EcoVadis Platinum medal places RS in the top 1% of rated companies, and the second consecutive listing in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook places RS in the top 15% of companies in its industry. CDP A List Recognition CDP is a global non-profit dedicated to helping stakeholders, ranging from small businesses to policymakers, take meaningful action to balance people, planet, and profit. To this end, CDP runs the world's only independent environmental disclosure system for companies, capital markets, cities, states, and regions to manage their environmental impacts. The data from its annual environmental disclosure report provides participating companies with a comprehensive understanding of their environmental dependencies, risks, impacts, and opportunities, which ESG leaders use to inform core business decisions, secure capital, reduce risks, engage their value chains, and boost efficiency. CDP scored 22,777 companies in 2024 — breaking previous records — but gave just 2% of them "A"s, indicating that, while ambition is growing, the bar for true environmental leadership remains rigorously high. RS is amongst the illustrious 2% recognized for understanding that, in today's market, environmental risk is financial risk; weaving environmental stewardship into their governance, strategy, and operations; embracing transparency as a tool for resilience, opportunity, and growth; and leading by example to create a blueprint for the economy we need. This year marks the second time RS made the CDP A List as well as an improvement from its previous score of A-. "Being one of a select few global companies to reach the CDP A List is a testament to the hard work of all our teams have invested in decarbonizing our business and supply chain and offering our customers more sustainable products and service solutions," said Andrea Barrett, Vice President of Social Responsibility and Sustainability at RS Group. ''But that work doesn't stop here! We're continuing to accelerate our 2030 ESG action plan to protect our people and the planet, support our sustainable growth, and create more long-term value for all our stakeholders.'' Andrea also shared several recent RS activities that contributed to its 2024 CDP A List rating, including: Providing customers with more than 30,000 and growing sustainable Better World product alternatives backed by its industry-leading claims-based sustainable product framework. Making distribution sites more automated, energy efficient, and sustainable to provide customers with better service and reduce environmental impacts and, in turn, reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 58% since 2019/20. Cutting the distance products travel by sourcing, storing, and shipping closer to customers and suppliers, switching to less carbon intensive modalities, and, in turn, reducing Scope 3 product transport emissions by 26% since 2019/20. EcoVadis Recognition EcoVadis is the world's most trusted independent provider of global business-to-business sustainability ratings used to screen and select strategic procurement partners. The EcoVadis assessment focuses on 21 sustainability criteria that are grouped into four themes — environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement — and is used to measure the quality of a company's sustainability management system through its policies, actions, and results. This year, RS Group earned a third consecutive Platinum EcoVadis medal. The 2024 medal honor RS Group's continued commitment to environmental sustainability, labor conditions and human rights, and sustainable procurement and once again places RS Group in the top 1% of the more than 100,000 rated companies that EcoVadis assesses and rates in terms of the material sustainability risks and issues for their size, location, and industry. S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook Recognition RS Group also earned a second consecutive listing in the 2025 S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook based on S&P Global's Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), an annual evaluation of companies' sustainability practices that reports on a industry-specific economic, environmental, and social criteria relevant to both a growing number of sustainability-centric investors and companies' financial success. The 2025 S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook features just over 10% of the 7,690 companies assessed for the 2024 CSA and recognizes RS Group for advancing the sustainability of its operating, packaging, and logistics processes. "We are very proud to have earned such highly regarded ESG ratings," said Andrea Barrett, Vice President of Social Responsibility and Sustainability at RS Group.

Ingersoll Rand (NYSE:IR) Board Member Julie Schertell Resigns From Key Committees
Last week, Ingersoll Rand experienced a period of stability as the resignation of Julie A. Schertell from its Board of Directors marked a governance shift. While this executive change was a potential catalyst, the company's performance coincided with broader market trends influenced by economic concerns triggered by a hot inflation reading and weak consumer sentiment, causing index declines. The Dow Jones fell 1.7%, and the S&P 500 slid 2%, reflecting investors' cautious stance amid rising inflation expectations. Ingersoll Rand's share price held steady, weathering the economic climate alongside other market participants. Buy, Hold or Sell Ingersoll Rand? View our complete analysis and fair value estimate and you decide. Find companies with promising cash flow potential yet trading below their fair value. In the last five years, Ingersoll Rand's total shareholder return has been significant, increasing by 254.40%. This impressive growth can be attributed to the company's active mergers and acquisitions strategy, including the acquisition of ILC Dover, which played a key role in revenue expansion. In addition, the firm's commitment to sustainability and corporate accolades from the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Indices and the CDP A List have likely enhanced brand value and customer loyalty, supporting shareholder returns. Ingersoll Rand also implemented a substantial share buyback program, repurchasing approximately 12.3 million shares, which may have contributed to the favorable total return outcome. Furthermore, earnings reports consistently showed incremental annual growth, such as Q4 2024 sales reaching US$7.24 billion. Despite this growth record, the company underperformed relative to the US Machinery industry over the past year, which returned a 2.4% decline, indicating market volatility impacts.
