Sole Engineering-Construction Firm in Top 100
IRVING, Texas--(Business Wire)--
Fluor Corporation announced today that it was named a "Best Corporate Citizen"
by the Corporate Responsibility Officers Association (CRO) and is the lone
engineering & construction firm on CRO`s Top 100 list. Companies were ranked
based on factors including transparency, environmental performance, climate
change, human rights, philanthropy, employee relations, financial performance
and governance using 343 separate data points. 

"All of the positive attributes of good corporate responsibility are an integral
part of our culture as builders at Fluor," said Steve Dobbs, Fluor`s senior
group president and corporate responsibility task force chairman. "As builders,
we take a great deal of pride in not only the quality of our craft, but also our
reputation for integrity and corporate responsibility. It is always a special
reward when our efforts are recognized by others, particularly from an
organization such as the CRO." 

Fittingly, several long-time Fluor clients made the list from energy and
chemicals, power, global services, mining and manufacturing industries. 

"CRO is a highly regarded organization with membership made-up largely of
corporate responsibility and sustainability leaders from FORTUNE 500 companies,"
said Lee Tashjian, Fluor`s vice president of corporate affairs. "Interestingly,
the determining factors for the Top 100 List are primarily the core criteria
that form the basis of the Global Reporting Initiative-the foundation of
sustainability reporting." 

CRO`s 10th annual 100 Best List, compiled by IW Financial and edited by CRO, is
based solely on publicly available information, thus ensuring transparency. The
methodology was debated and voted on by 27 leading corporate responsibility
practitioners representing nine major industry segments at the CRO Conference in
Chicago in late 2008. 

The 2009 CRO 100 Best Corporate Citizens List is the world`s best-known
apples-to-apples comparison of Russell 1000 companies` performance in
environment, climate change, human rights, employee relations, philanthropy,
financial and governance.
