Waste Management educating youth about the environment

Corporate Responsibility Magazine (CR Magazine) has named Waste Management (NYSE: WM) to its 19th annual 100 Best Corporate Citizens list. The roster recognizes the standout environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of public companies across the United States.

“Waste Management’s recognition as a good corporate citizen is an honor, and a responsibility that we embrace with great pride,” said Jim Fish, president and chief executive officer of Waste Management. “We are steadfast in working towards balancing the needs of our employees, customers, shareholders, communities and our environment for our current and future generations.”

The 100 Best Corporate Citizens List documents 260 ESG data points of disclosure and performance measures—harvested from publicly available information in seven categories: environment, climate change, employee relations, human rights, governance, finance, and philanthropy & community support. The list ranks the Russell 1000 Index.

"CR Magazine is proud to present the only ESG ranking list that doesn't rely on self-reporting," said Dave Armon, publisher of CR Magazine. "Each year, the 100 Best Corporate Citizens ranking measures the success of the Brands Taking Stands movement by celebrating the most successful, most transparent companies that report on their responsible practices. We congratulate those honored on this year's list for their commitment to corporate responsibility."
