Cabot Corporation Named to CR Magazine’s 100 Best Corporate Citizens List for 2018

Corporate Responsibility Magazine (CR Magazine) has named Cabot Corporation (NYSE: CBT) to its 19^th annual 100 Best Corporate Citizens list. The roster recognizes the superior environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of public companies across the United States.

"We are committed to improving our performance in the core aspects of sustainability – environmental, social and governance – so that we can have a positive impact on our employees, customers, communities and other stakeholders,” said Martin O’Neill, senior vice president, Safety, Health and Environment. "I am proud to see Cabot once again honored with recognition of our efforts on the 100 Best Corporate Citizens List. This award demonstrates the progress that we are making in our sustainability agenda, and is a testament to our corporate values and the hard work of our dedicated employees across the globe.”

The 100 Best Corporate Citizens List ranks companies from the Russell 1000 Index for excellence in sustainability disclosures and performance. Assessments are made based on publicly available information in seven categories: environment, climate change, employee relations, human rights, governance, finance, and philanthropy & community support.

"CR Magazine is proud to present the only ESG ranking list that doesn't rely on self-reporting,” said Dave Armon, publisher of CR Magazine. "Each year, the 100 Best Corporate Citizens ranking measures the success of the Brands Taking Stands movement by celebrating the most successful, most transparent companies that report on their responsible practices. We congratulate those honored on this year's list for their commitment to corporate responsibility.”

Cabot continues to be recognized by customers and third-party organizations for its commitment to excellence in safety, health and environmental affairs as well as for outstanding innovation and customer service. Most recently Cabot was named to CR Magazine’s "2017 Most Responsible Companies Ranked by Industry Sector” list. Additionally, Cabot was recognized with consecutive gold level evaluations by EcoVadis, an independent assessment organization that specializes in evaluating sustainability programs and related performance of participating companies.
