The recognition follows a rigorous evaluation process in which Statista analyzed over 5,800 global firms against 20 key performance indicators. Judges weighed transparency in reporting, environmental stewardship, and social impact to narrow the field to the final 750 honorees. For the Camden-based utility, the ranking validates a strategic shift that embeds sustainability into financial, operational, and cultural pillars.

Cheryl Norton, EVP and Chief Operating Officer at American Water, noted that the designation reflects the company's core values and long-term commitment to the 14 million people it serves across 14 states and 18 military installations. By balancing capital investment with disciplined debt management, the company aims to maintain the infrastructure necessary to deliver reliable water services while fostering a workforce of approximately 7,000 professionals.
