Draft:100 Best Corporate Citizens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 100 Best Corporate Citizens (100 BCC) is annual list that evaluates and ranks large publicly traded companies in the United States based on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria.[1]

History of the 100 BCC List[edit]

The list was first published by the magazine Business Ethics: The Magazine of Corporate Responsibility in 1996.[2] The 100 BCC list has been published on annual basis since the year 2000.[3] In 2007, management of the 100 BCC list was transferred to the CRO magazine, a newsletter targeting Corporate Responsibility Officers.[4] The periodical was later renamed as the Corporate Responsibility (CR) magazine and acquired by 3BL Media in 2017.[5]
