Ingersoll Rand (NYSE:IR), a world leader in creating comfortable,
sustainable and efficient environments, was recognized on FORTUNE
Magazine’s 2016 World’s Most Admired Companies for the fourth
consecutive year in the Industrial Machinery category. The company also
ranked No. 10 in the Community Responsibility category among all list
companies, joining Starbucks, Unilever, Walt Disney and Whole Foods
Market in this prestigious key attribute ranking.
“FORTUNE’s acknowledgment is a tribute to our global employees and their
passion for making the world a better place to live,” said Michael W.

develop sustainable and efficient products and services that support our
customer’s needs and enhance communities around the world. Consistently
being recognized on the World’s Most Admired list validates our

To identify the Most Admired Companies, FORTUNE and its survey partner,
the Korn Ferry Hay Group, survey top executives and directors from
FORTUNE 1000 and Global 500 companies -- along with financial analysts
-- to identify companies that have the strongest reputations both within
their own industry and overall. Companies are rated on nine key
attributes: quality of management and leadership, quality of products or
services, innovativeness, community responsibility, the wise use of
corporate assets, a company’s effectiveness in running a global
business, its value as a long-term investment, the soundness of its
financial position, and the ability to attract and retain talent.
