BLOOMFIELD, Conn., June 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Global health company The Cigna Group (NYSE: CI) earned the first place ranking among the health care industry for its leadership in global sustainability in the first-ever Net Zero Leaders list released by Forbes this week. The list ranks the top 100 public companies in America that are best positioned to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and offset them by 2050.

"There is an intrinsic connection between human health and environmental health, and we are powered by our purpose to serve as a leader and steward of a well-functioning ecosystem of health," said Nancy Ryan, Global ESG Lead at The Cigna Group.
