WM improves in all possible key attributes of
reputation categories in 2021
Waste Management (NYSE: WM) has joined Fortune magazine’s list
of ‘World’s Most Admired Companies’ for the third year in a row.
Most importantly, WM moved from the number six position to the
first position in Fortune’s industry category and improved upon all
possible key attributes of reputation including; innovation, people
management, use of corporate assets, social responsibility, quality
of management, financial soundness, quality of products/services,
and global competitiveness. Since 1997, Fortune Magazine and Korn
Ferry International have conducted the research and produced the
list, based on a survey of almost 3,800 executives, directors, and
industry analysts.
“Being recognized on this list is a testament to the commitment
and hard work of our nearly 50,000 team members,” said Jim Fish,
president and CEO of Waste Management. “We are truly proud of every
team member who helped make WM what it is - a People First company
that's always working for a sustainable tomorrow.”
The Fortune study, conducted in partnership with Korn Ferry,
surveys thousands of senior executives, outside directors, and
financial analysts to identify the companies that enjoy the
strongest reputations within their industries and across
industries. The survey assesses candidates in 56 industry groupings
drawn from Fortune 1000 and Global 500 companies and other major
non-U.S. companies. Survey participants rate candidates based on
the nine key attributes: innovation, people management, use of
corporate assets, social responsibility, quality of management,
financial soundness, long-term investment value, quality of
products and services, and global competitiveness. Learn more about
