Recognized for Environmental, Social and
Governance Performance
Waste Management (NYSE: WM) has been named to Corporate
Responsibility Magazine’s prestigious 100 Best Corporate Citizens
list for the fifth consecutive year.
The 20th annual 100 Best Corporate Citizens list recognizes
standout environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of
public companies across the United States.
“At Waste Management, we work every day to serve and support our
communities, stakeholders and world,” said Jim Fish, president and
chief executive officer of Waste Management. “This recognition
reaffirms our commitment to operate responsibly and respectfully –
and to the highest environmental, social and ethical standards. It
also inspires us to continue our quest for sustainable solutions,
collaborative community partnerships and a vibrant future.”
The 100 Best Corporate Citizens list documents 260 ESG data
points of disclosure and performance measures in seven categories:
environment, climate change, employee relations, human rights,
governance, finance and philanthropy and community support. The
list ranks the Russell 1000 Index, a roster of the 1,000 largest
U.S. public companies.
"U.S. corporate leadership matters more than ever to drive
progress despite government gridlock around environmental and
social topics like climate change. Transparency and public
commitments make corporate responsibility and sustainability
programs stronger," said Dave Armon, CEO, 3BL Media.
“This commendation by CR Magazine is thanks to hard-working,
hard-driving men and women of Waste Management,” said Fish. “Our
team is dedicated to making a difference – on the job, in our
neighborhoods and throughout North America.”
