The "100 Best List”—ranked from the Russell 1000 Index—documents 260 data points of disclosure and performance measures, collected from publicly available information in seven categories: environment, climate change, employee relations, human rights, governance, finance, and philanthropy and community support.
"This recognition is a testament to our employee’s efforts around the world to uphold integrity in our business operations while continuously striving to do better and address challenges as they arise,” said Kathrin Belliveau, Senior Vice President for Global Government Affairs and Corporate Social Responsibility.
