As one of only 13 real estate-related companies on the list, ACC
earned the number two spot on this prestigious new ranking based on
a holistic approach to evaluating trust that took into
consideration the three main touchpoints of customer, investor and
employee trust. It is presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., the
world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.
“Earning and maintaining the trust of investors, university
partners, employees and our student residents has always been a key
focus of our success," said Bill Bayless, CEO at American Campus
Communities. "This recognition is a testament that our core value
to always ‘do the right thing’ has resonated well with all of our
stakeholders as we have strived for nearly 30 years to conduct
ourselves and our business with the highest levels of integrity and
a commitment to excellence.”
America's Most Trusted Companies were identified by an
independent survey based on a sample of approximately 50,000 U.S.
residents and a total of 110,000 evaluations were submitted, which
resulted in a list of the top 400 Most Trusted Companies across 22
industries.
“In recent years, particularly through the pandemic, trust has
taken on more meaning for businesses than just square dealing and
avoiding scandal,” writes Nancy Cooper, global editor in chief,
Newsweek in her cover letter announcing the list. “Increasingly,
consumers, employers and investors also want to know that a company
shares their beliefs and values before they'll come aboard.”
ACC has long been recognized as an industry leader in corporate
responsibility and sustainability. It is also known as a great
place to work, being recently certified by Great Place to Work® for
the third year based on what current employees say about their work
experience. This year, 92 percent of employees said it’s a great
place to work – 35 points higher than the average U.S. company.
Additionally, ACC has been twice named one of America’s Top 100
Most Trustworthy Companies by Forbes.
