Southern Company achieves top 50 in corporate social responsibility index
Highest ranked utility
Southern Company was ranked among the top 50 in the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship’s 2010 Corporate and Social Responsibility Index. More than 200 companies were ranked. The Corporate Social Responsibility Index is the combined average of the general public’s perceptions along three key dimensions: Citizenship, Governance and Workplace. This combined score yields greater insight into the influence of stakeholder programs, policies and activities on reputation. These rankings are not based on self-reported corporate information but from over 24,000 ratings across the United States from people familiar with the company. To break into the top 50 a company needed to rate above 72.52, an increase of over 3 points from 2009. The Index is created using data collected for Reputation Institute’s 2010 Global Pulse Study and analyzed in coordination with the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship. View the rankings. |
