Sole Engineering-Construction Firm in Top 100
Fluor Corporation announced today that it was named a “Best Corporate
Citizen” by the Corporate Responsibility Officers Association (CRO) and
is the lone engineering & construction firm on CRO’s Top 100 list.
Companies were ranked based on factors including transparency,
environmental performance, climate change, human rights, philanthropy,
employee relations, financial performance and governance using 343
separate data points.
"All of the positive attributes of good corporate responsibility are an
integral part of our culture as builders at Fluor," said Steve Dobbs,
Fluor’s senior group president and corporate responsibility task force
chairman. “As builders, we take a great deal of pride in not only the
quality of our craft, but also our reputation for integrity and
corporate responsibility. It is always a special reward when our efforts
are recognized by others, particularly from an organization such as the
CRO."
Fittingly, several long-time Fluor clients made the list from energy and
chemicals, power, global services, mining and manufacturing industries.
“CRO is a highly regarded organization with membership made-up largely
of corporate responsibility and sustainability leaders from FORTUNE 500
companies,” said Lee Tashjian, Fluor’s vice president of corporate
affairs. “Interestingly, the determining factors for the Top 100 List
are primarily the core criteria that form the basis of the Global
Reporting Initiative—the foundation of sustainability reporting.”
CRO’s 10th annual 100 Best List, compiled by IW Financial and
edited by CRO, is based solely on publicly available information, thus
ensuring transparency. The methodology was debated and voted on by 27
leading corporate responsibility practitioners representing nine major
industry segments at the CRO Conference in Chicago in late 2008.
The 2009 CRO 100 Best Corporate Citizens List® is the world’s best-known
apples-to-apples comparison of Russell 1000® companies’ performance in
environment, climate change, human rights, employee relations,
philanthropy, financial and governance.
