Companies were assessed using publicly available ESG data drawn from sustainability reports, along with the results of an independent perception survey.
Chief Executive Officer and President Joe Berquist said the recognition reflects sustained investment in corporate responsibility and the company’s broader operating discipline. He said the firm’s approach is rooted in delivering strong results for customers while advancing measurable progress across environmental and social priorities.
