Voya Financial Ascends to Top 10 on Barron’s 2019 Ranking of the 100 Most Sustainable Companies

  • 67

Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE:VOYA), is ranked 6th on Barron’s 2019 list of the 100 Most Sustainable Companies, according to an article published in the Feb. 11 issue of the investment news publication. This ranking marks a significant jump from Voya’s position in 2018 (No. 46), which was the inaugural year that Barron’s published the list. Voya was also the highest-ranking financial services company on Barron’s 2019 list. The rankings are designed to provide information on factors that affect investment risk and performance, and that are of interest to investors.

Voya Financial Chairman and CEO Rodney O. Martin, Jr. attributed Voya’s top-10 ranking to several milestones achieved – and accolades earned – during 2018 that reflected the company’s commitment to ethical business practices and diversity and inclusion at all levels of the enterprise.

“We are honored by this distinguished recognition of Voya’s corporate sustainability performance,” said Martin. “Since becoming an independent company in 2013, we have driven significant shareholder value by several measures – while demonstrating our company’s commitment to our values as reflected in important areas of focus such as ethical business practices, diversity and inclusion, and serving the disabilities and special needs community.”

To determine the rankings, Calvert Research and Management, an arm of Eaton Vance, assesses the 1,000 largest publicly held companies, with headquarters in the U.S., by market value. Calvert calculates the rankings by measuring sustainability performance based on 300 indicators across five categories: shareholders, employees, customers, planet and community.
