Auburn Hills, Michigan, September 16, 2025 – BorgWarner has been recognized by 3BL, a leading sustainability communications partner, as one of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens of 2025, marking the third consecutive year the company has been included. This prestigious ranking acknowledges BorgWarner’s exceptional commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) transparency and performance among the largest U.S. public companies. Even as political attitudes toward ESG policies and disclosures shift in the United States, the nation’s largest companies continue to increase their levels of transparency, with average scores up 2.5% from last year.
The 100 Best Corporate Citizens ranking evaluates Russell 1,000 companies based on 219 factors across seven pillars, including climate change, employee relations, environment, governance, human rights, and stakeholders and society. After integrating dozens of new factors in 2024 to more accurately assess corporate performance as well as disclosure, 3BL limited year-over-year changes to the ranking methodology. 2025 changes include increasing the weight of some performance-based factors introduced in 2024 and ISS Sustainability Solutions’ annual enhancements to the E&S Disclosure QualityScore and Governance QualityScore.
“It’s been a challenging year for responsible business, but the companies on this list have shown the courage to stay the course,” said Charlie Wilkie, CEO of 3BL. “In a climate where trust is the new KPI, they’re proving that transparency and accountability aren’t just ideals — they’re the foundation of stronger companies. The 100 Best Corporate Citizens exists to spotlight that strength, and to push the standard for corporate leadership higher every year.”
Unlike other rankings, the 100 Best Corporate Citizens relies solely on publicly available data and information, eliminating the need for questionnaires or company submissions, and there is no fee for companies to be considered. To ensure accuracy, companies have the option to verify the data collected for the ranking at no cost. The data and information used for the 2025 ranking were published between June 2024 and June 2025.
“BorgWarner is proud to be recognized by 3BL as one of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens for the third consecutive year for our unwavering commitment to transparency of our sustainability goals and performance,” said Joseph Fadool, President and CEO, BorgWarner. “As outlined in our recently published sustainability report, we continue to make meaningful progress toward our goals and remain dedicated to setting a strong example for responsible corporate citizenship.”
