About the 100 Best Corporate Citizens Ranking

Indeed, the “100 Best Corporate Citizens” ranking is based on assessing the companies on the Russell 1000 Index. The last benchmark is a stock market index that tracks 1,000 of the largest companies in the United States.

Thus, companies in the list are measured on 146 ESG transparency and performance factors. Particularly, the list ranks and measures eight pillars: climate change, employee relations, environment, finance, governance, human rights, stakeholders and society, and ESG performance.

Sempra Energy is focused on creating long-term value for stakeholders by managing risks and capturing opportunities related to ESG factors. The company’s actions are anchored to its four key sustainability pillars: achieving world-class safety, enabling the energy transition, driving resilient operations, and championing people.

Therefore, they are setting ambitious goals, outlining robust strategies for achieving them. Also, disclosing data to measure progress, and accounting for all stakeholders in business decisions.”
