IRVING,
Texas, Oct. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Darling
Ingredients Inc. (NYSE: DAR) has been selected for Investor's
Business Daily's (IBD) 100 Best ESG Companies of 2022, landing at
number 53 – a significant move up the list from its number 82
listing in 2021. Public companies that made IBD's 2022 list combine
high Dow Jones sustainability scores with superior IBD technical
and fundamental stock ratings, and are standouts for ESG
investing.
"Darling Ingredients has been at the forefront of the circular
economy since our inception more than 140 years ago,"
stated Randall C. Stuewe, Chairman and CEO of Darling
Ingredients. "Where others see waste, we see opportunity –
for both our shareholders and the planet; and we're continually
looking for ways to improve the environmental footprint of our
business."
Darling Ingredients repurposes edible by-products and food waste
into sustainable products, and it is a leading producer of
renewable energy. It is the largest publicly traded company
that takes the 50% of the animal that doesn't make it to the dinner
plate and turns it into valuable ingredients. Darling Ingredients
creates food ingredients that are used to make gelatin capsules for
pills, thickeners for foods and collagen peptides for health and
nutrition. It sells ingredients to companies that make feed for
pets and livestock like swine, cattle, poultry and fish. And if it
can't be fed to a human or an animal, Darling Ingredients takes
those materials and makes green energy.
"IBD's selection of Darling Ingredients demonstrates our strong
historic performance in the ESG arena, our commitment to the future
and the value we bring to the ESG-conscious investment community,"
said Suann Guthrie, Vice President
of Investor Relations, Global Communications and
Sustainability.
Darling Ingredients' commitment to environmental, social and
governance (ESG) issues starts at the top with its board of
directors and senior leadership and is embedded throughout the
organization. The company committed to setting science-based
targets in line with its long-term goal of achieving net-zero
emissions from our operations by 2050. Details of Darling
Ingredients' commitments are outlined at darlingii.com/csr/esg
