In ranking the top 400 most responsible companies across 14 industries in the United States<\/span>, Newsweek<\/i> scored companies based on their commitment to the environment, social issues and corporate governance. In the new list posted Dec. 2<\/span> on Newsweek’s website<\/a><\/u><\/i>, Spire stands out as one of only seven companies ranked from their home state of Missouri<\/span>.<\/p>\n

“A few years ago, we set out to reimagine what it means to be an energy company \u2014 one that exists to do the very best for people, communities and the planet,” said Suzanne Sitherwood<\/span>, president and chief executive officer at Spire. “We’re honored that this commitment has named us among America’s 400 most responsible companies.”<\/p>\n

The annual rankings are developed by the market and data research firm Statista<\/a><\/u>. After screening the 2,000 largest public companies in the U.S., Statista conducted independent surveys among 7,500 U.S. citizens and then examined key performance indicators from public reports. In Spire’s case, that data comes from their 2019 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report, highlighting how Spire uses their energy for good, driving positive and significant change in the communities they serve. <\/p>\n
