ConAgra Foods announced today that for the first time, CRO
Magazine (formerly Corporate Responsibility Magazine) has named the
company to its 11th annual 100 Best Corporate Citizens List. This
list is known as one of the world’s top corporate responsibility
rankings based on publicly-available information and recognized by
PR Week as one of America’s top three most-important business
rankings.
“We are honored to receive this recognition,” said Chris
Kircher, ConAgra Foods’ vice president of corporate affairs. “It
reflects our deep-seated, ongoing commitment to corporate
responsibility, and it validates our decision last year to provide
an increased level of transparency on our efforts through the
publication of our first corporate responsibility report.”
The 100 Best Corporate Citizens List is based on more than 360
data points of publicly available information in seven categories.
The seven categories include: Environment, Climate Change, Human
Rights, Philanthropy, Employee Relations, Financial Performance and
Governance. The 100 Best Corporate Citizens are selected from among
the large-cap Russell 1000 companies, based on data provided by
leading ESG investor data firm IW Financial. The 100 Best Corporate
Citizens List’s open and transparent methodology is governed by a
Methodology Committee of the Corporate Responsibility Officers
Association. The 100 Best List’s methodology is published in the
100 Best Corporate Citizens List issue of Corporate Responsibility
Magazine, mailed to 20,000 subscribers March 9 and available now
online at www.thecro.com.
