Lexmark International Inc. has been named one of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens for 2007, according to a recent list published by CRO magazine. Now in its eight year, the “100 Best Corporate Citizens” list identifies companies that excel at serving a broad range of stakeholders. The list is drawn from more than 1,100 of the largest U.S. publicly traded companies. The 100 Best Corporate Citizens list was developed by Business Ethics magazine, which was incorporated last year into The CRO, a membership organization for corporate responsibility officers.
“The 100 Best distinguish themselves from their peers at other large public companies by embracing higher standards – combining strong financial performance with responsible practices on environmental and social issues,” said Michael Connor, publisher and editor of CRO magazine. “We salute the 100 Best for their leadership roles in the field of corporate responsibility.”
Lexmark was ranked 80th in the annual survey, which has gained national recognition as an indicator of best practices in the area of corporate responsibility. Headquartered in Lexington, Lexmark provides printing and imaging products in more than 150 counties. In 2006, the company reported $5.1 billion in revenue.
