Whirlpool Corporation has once again been recognised by Fortune Magazine as one of the World’s Most Admired Companies, and the leader in the Home Equipment, Furnishings category. This year marks the twelfth consecutive year that Whirlpool Corporation has been named to the list, which includes the most respected and reputable companies around the world, as ranked by peers within their respective industries.
“We are honoured to be named one of Fortune’s Most Admired Companies for the twelfth year in a row,” said Marc Bitzer, CEO and chairman, Whirlpool Corporation. “The recognition is a direct result of the dedication and innovative thinking by our team members, all of whom continue to work tirelessly to serve our customers, support our communities, and protect our planet.”
For 110 years, Whirlpool Corporation has prioritised responsible business practices to drive purposeful innovation and instill a culture of respect, integrity, and teamwork. As a result of these efforts, the company continues to progress many of its environmental and social goals, as well as implement employee development programmes to support the advancement of its workforce.
Whirlpool Corporation has been building on its decades-long commitment to sustainability, citizenship, inclusion, diversity and equality, and the company has received several external recognitions for those efforts. For example, Whirlpool Corporation was named in Forbes’ 2021 list of ‘World’s Best Employers’. The company also rose to number four in Newsweek’s ranking of America’s Most Responsible Companies for 2022. Furthermore, Whirlpool Corporation also received a perfect 100 score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s annual assessment of LGBTQ+ workplace equality for the 19th year.
Fortune’s annual list is based on a survey of corporate reputation that takes into account the observations and opinions of 3,770 industry executives. The survey consists of nine different categories: innovation, people management, use of corporate assets, social responsibility, quality of management, long-term investment, financial soundness, quality of products and services, and global competitiveness. Nearly 1,500 companies are considered for inclusion in the final ranking.
