For the sixth time CSX has made the Fortune magazine list of the world’s most admired companies.
The magazine said that key attributes included the railroad’s reputation, including management quality, people management and long-term investment value.
Union Pacific and CSX placed first and second place, respectively, within the truck, transportation, and logistics industry. Also recognized were Ryder Systems, C.H. Robinson, and J.B. Hunt.
Fortune considers nine factors that range from investment value to social responsibility. The list is then reviewed and approved by top executives, directors and analysts across different industries.
“As a premier transportation provider, we are committed to delivering safe and value-enhancing service for our customers, returns for our shareholders, opportunities for our employees, and respect for our neighbors,” said CSX Chairman, and CEO Michael J. Ward in a statement. “We’re focused on living our core values, which focus on safety, people, customers and integrity, to continue to create long-term, sustainable economic growth.”
In a news release, CSX said that over the past year it also has been recognized as a “Top 10 Company for Veterans” by G.I. JOBS Magazine, one of the “100 Best Places to Work in IT” by IDG Computerworld, a “Best Corporate Citizen” by Corporate Responsibility Magazine, and was ranked on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for the fifth consecutive year.
