FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J. — BD (Becton, Dickinson and Co.)  announced that it has been named to Newsweek’s inaugural list of “America’s Most Trusted Companies” in the Health Care and Life Sciences category.

The ranking takes into consideration three core audiences of trust including customer, investor and employee trust. BD is one of only three medical technology companies to make the list.

“Earning and maintaining trust is more important than ever for all companies in today’s environment, and especially for us at BD as a leader in an industry as consequential as health care,” said Tom Polen, chairman, CEO and president of BD. “This recognition reflects our core value of doing what is right and our focus on creating value across all our stakeholders.”

The list of America’s Most Trusted Companies was compiled by surveying 50,000 Americans who rated companies they know on all three touchpoints of trust. A total of 110,000 evaluations were submitted, resulting in a list of the top 400 Most Trusted Companies across 22 industries.
