transparency and performance among the 1,000 largest U.S. public
companies. 3BL is a news distribution platform that promotes ESG
initiatives of leading companies and non-profit organizations.
The 100 Best Corporate Citizens ranking is based on 184 ESG
factors in seven pillars: climate change, employee relations,
environment, governance, human rights, stakeholders and society,
and ESG performance.
"Being a responsible corporate citizen is central to supporting
our mission to empower people worldwide to live healthier at every
stage of life," said Lina Andersson,
Head of Corporate Social Responsibility at Viatris. "This
recognition reaffirms our colleagues' commitment to build
sustainable access at scale to medicine and advance responsible
operations for our stakeholders, the communities in which we live
and work and the patients we serve."
Using a methodology developed by 3BL, all companies listed on
the Russell 1,000 Index used as a benchmark by investors are
researched by ISS ESG, the responsible investment research arm of
Institutional Shareholder Services.

obtained from publicly available sources only, rather than
questionnaires or company submissions. Companies have the option to
verify data collected for the ranking at no cost. Data and
