Commercial Metals Company earns first Global 100 sustainability ranking from Corporate Knights
CMC has been named one of Corporate Knights' 2026 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations, marking its first inclusion among publicly traded firms with revenues exceeding $1 billion. The company was also named to the 2025 Corporate Knights Clean200 list for leading clean economy performance.
1. CMC Earns Inaugural Spot on Corporate Knights’ Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations
On January 27, 2026, CMC announced its first-ever inclusion on Corporate Knights’ Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations list, which ranks the world’s top publicly traded companies with revenues above $1 billion based on sustainability-aligned investments and revenue growth. This recognition follows CMC’s placement on the 2025 Corporate Knights Clean200, underscoring the company’s leadership in the clean economy. CEO Peter Matt highlighted CMC’s century-long commitment to responsible operations and environmental stewardship, noting that the company’s global manufacturing network in the United States and Central Europe has enabled it to reduce its carbon intensity by over 15% since 2020. Investors will view this accolade as validation of CMC’s strategy to integrate sustainability into its core business and drive long-term value creation.
2. Strategic $2.5 B Acquisitions of CP&P and Foley Set to Accelerate Growth
In December 2025, CMC completed the $2.5 billion acquisition of Concrete Pipe & Precast (CP&P) and Foley Products Company, a move designed to broaden its U.S. precast concrete platform and mitigate seasonal demand fluctuations in the construction sector. The combined operations add eight manufacturing facilities across Texas, Florida and the Southeast, increasing CMC’s total plant count to 42 in North America. Management projects annual run-rate synergies of approximately $75 million by the end of fiscal 2027, driven by procurement optimization and network rationalization. Analysts expect the deal to boost consolidated EBITDA margins by up to 120 basis points once fully integrated, reinforcing CMC’s scale advantage and underpinning its long-term earnings growth trajectory.
