MIAMI, Jan. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival
Corporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL;NYSE: CUK), the world's
largest cruise company, has been named for the second consecutive
year by Newsweek as one of America's Most Responsible Companies for
2021.
Presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc. – the world-leading
statistics portal and industry ranking provider – the annual
listing of the top 400 most responsible U.S. companies was compiled
from a detailed analysis of more than 2,000 public companies,
honoring businesses that give back to the communities in which they
operate and excel in corporate social responsibility and
citizenship efforts.
In collaboration with Newsweek, Statista carried out a
four-phase process to identify and score America's Most Responsible
Companies, starting with a pool of over 2,000 public companies from
14 major industries and sectors in the U.S. The final honoree list
was selected through a detailed analysis that covered three areas
of corporate social responsibility – environmental, social and
corporate governance – and included evaluation based on publicly
available information on corporate social responsibility efforts
and a survey of more than 7,500 U.S. residents to gather
perceptions on each company.
"As a company, we fully embrace the importance of corporate
social responsibility and strive to be an exemplary corporate
citizen everywhere we operate in the world," said Roger Frizzell, chief communications officer for
Carnival Corporation, whose U.S. brands include namesake Carnival
Cruise Line, Cunard, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises and
Seabourn. "This outside recognition for our sustainability efforts
from two highly respected organizations showcases the important
progress we continue to make across our company. As we continue to
invest in the future of sustainable tourism, we are focused on our
ongoing commitment to protecting the environment, being in
compliance everywhere we operate and making a positive
impact in the communities we visit around the world."
In addition to this corporate responsibility honor from
Newsweek, Carnival Corporation has received a series of
recognitions for its companywide operations, including 3BL Media's
listing of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens for 2020, marking the
eighth time in the past nine years the company has been honored on
the list. Most recently, Carnival Corporation was named a Glassdoor
Employees' Choice Award Winner honoring the best 100 U.S. places to
work, in addition to several honors in 2020 from Forbes based on
the publication's annual listings of America's Best Employers for
Diversity and America's Best Employers for Women.
These recognitions align with Carnival Corporation's top
priorities of compliance, protecting the environment and the
health, safety and well-being of its guests, crew members and
communities it visits.
