PAWTUCKET, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 15, 2019--
Corporate Responsibility Magazine (CR Magazine) has named Hasbro,
Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS) to its 20th annual 100 Best Corporate
Citizens ranking. The list recognizes the standout environmental, social
and governance (ESG) performance of the 1,000 largest U.S. public
companies.
This is the eighth consecutive year Hasbro has ranked in the top 25, due
to its commitments to climate change, environmental sustainability,
human rights, diversity and inclusion, and transparency.
“Corporate Social Responsibility is fundamental to how we operate our
business,” said Brian Goldner, chairman and CEO, Hasbro, Inc. “We
believe that by fulfilling our purpose to make the world a better place
for children and their families, we are also doing the right thing for
our shareholders and key stakeholders. We’re proud that the Hasbro logo
is a trustmark for consumers around the world, and appreciate that our
global teams are achieving success the right way: by living our values
and building long-term value.”
The 100 Best Corporate Citizens ranking documents 98 ESG factors of
disclosure and performance measures, harvested from publicly-available
information in seven categories: environment, climate change, human
rights, stakeholders, employee relations, governance and finance. The
list ranks the Russell 1000 Index.
“CR Magazine is proud to present a corporate ranking that
advances ESG transparency,” said Dave Armon, 3BL Media CEO which
publishes CR Magazine. “Since 1999, the 100 Best Corporate
Citizens ranking has celebrated corporate transparency and performance
to drive progress, build trust and promote accountability on ESG issues.
We congratulate those honored on this year's list for their commitment
to corporate responsibility and sustainability.”
