"We're pleased to have received a leadership score of 91 with a ranking of 61 on this inaugural list," said David Jukes, president, and chief executive officer. "Growing our people and culture is core at Univar Solutions as we put the customer at the center of all we do."

The list of the "Best Companies for Future Leaders" was assembled based on the analysis of approximately 2,000 of the most influential leaders in the USA, coming from the worlds of business, government, academia, and society. The three-step analysis is as follows:

An initial list of 2,000 of the most influential people in business, government and society was compiled. Extensive research identified publicly available education and professional stops on each leaders Curriculum Vitae (CV)/Resume.
Data was cleaned and analyzed and aggregated (where necessary). Employee counts and figures were used to account for differences in the size of organizations and ensure an even playing field for prospective companies of all sizes.
The highest rated organizations are awarded a spot on the Educational and Professional experience lists.

"With the purpose to help keep our communities healthy, fed, clean, and safe, Univar Solutions is a place where our people can make a difference," said Jennifer McIntyre, chief people & culture officer.

Effective leadership is not limited to the boardroom; it extends to all aspects of life, from community engagement to professional endeavors. Understanding the formative experiences and paths of American leaders can offer insights into how skills are honed and applied across different domains. The scope of the project includes all companies in the United States that played a part in shaping today's leaders along their paths to the top positions that they now occupy.
