The 100 Best Corporate Citizens list puts a numerical rating on service to these various stakeholders.
Environmental, social and governance ratings are drawn from Socrates, the online social research database created by KLD Research and Analytics in Boston, an independent research firm serving investment management professionals.
The universe of companies considered for the list encompasses US firms in the Russell 1000, the S+P 500, and KLD's Domini 400 Social Index.
These firms are ranked on their performance in eight stakeholder categories: shareholders, community, governance, diversity, employees, environment, human rights, and product.
Social scores use KLD's assessment of 'strengths' and 'concerns' demonstrated in each category.
The shareholder score is based on three-year average total return (stock appreciation plus dividends) through year-end 2006.
