MOLINE, Ill., Feb. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Deere &
Company (NYSE: DE) today released its 2020 Sustainability Report at
www.JohnDeere.com/sustainability. Built around John Deere's higher
purpose – "We run so life can leap forward" – the
report features how the company creates more sustainable outcomes
for its customers, employees, dealers, suppliers, shareholders and
the communities it serves. The report also details John Deere's
progress toward achieving its 2022 Sustainability Goals and other
environmental, social and governance priorities.
"We must act with urgency today to make the lives of our
customers, workforce, and all those we serve better tomorrow," said
John C. May, chairman and chief
executive officer, in a message included in the report. "While the
accomplishments presented in the 2020 Sustainability Report are a
source of pride, they don't represent the culmination of our
efforts. For us, they are simply markers of what we've accomplished
so far. More importantly, they serve as proof of the horizons yet

I am excited to see how far we all can leap."
