The company also ranked No. 10 in the Community Responsibility category among all list companies, joining Starbucks, Unilever, Walt Disney and Whole Foods Market in this prestigious key attribute ranking.

To identify the Most Admired Companies, FORTUNE and its survey partner, the Korn Ferry Hay Group, survey top executives and directors from FORTUNE 1000 and Global 500 companies — along with financial analysts — to identify companies that have the strongest reputations both within their own industry and overall. Companies are rated on nine key attributes: quality of management and leadership, quality of products or services, innovativeness, community responsibility, the wise use of corporate assets, a company’s effectiveness in running a global business, its value as a long-term investment, the soundness of its financial position, and the ability to attract and retain talent.
