This recognition is presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.

"As one of America's leading media and marketing companies, we are devoted to providing our consumers with essential, inspiring and trusted content; making our operations more environmentally friendly; and creating a just and inclusive environment for everyone," said Meredith Chairman and CEO Tom Harty. "Along with our 5,000 employees, I am honored to be recognized by Newsweek and Statista for our commitment to corporate social responsibility leadership."

The key performance indicators focused on company performance in the environmental, social, and corporate governance areas, and the independent survey asked U.S. citizens about their perceptions of company activities related to corporate social responsibility.
