For the 15th year in a row, Whirlpool Corp. has been named one of the “World’s Most Admired Companies” by Fortune. Whirlpool was once again selected for this honor due to the company’s performance, management, products, and commitment to the communities around the world where the company does business.
“It is an honor to be recognized by Fortune as one of the most admired companies,” said Whirlpool Chair and CEO Marc Bitzer. “This recognition is the result of incredible employees around the world and their tireless commitment to improving life at home for consumers.”
The World’s Most Admired Companies list highlights organizations most respected by their peers, with executives emphasizing financial stability, innovation and leadership. Fortune collaborated with Korn Ferry on this survey – the two organizations analyzed 650 companies and surveyed more than 3,300 executives to measure reputation based on nine different attributes, including each firm’s effectiveness in conducting business globally, its ability to attract, develop, and keep talent, its value as a long-term investment, its innovativeness, its use of corporate assets, and its responsibility to the community and environment.
