Alcoa (NYSE:AA) has been named the most admired metals company in the
world for the second year in a row in Fortune magazine′s annual
ranking on corporate reputation. Alcoa has been a member of the 'Most
Admired' list since Fortune began the annual ranking 30
years ago.
Alcoa also received top ranking in seven of the nine key attributes:
innovation, people management, use of corporate assets, social
responsibility, quality of management, financial soundness, and
long-term investment.
'It is extremely gratifying to be ranked the most admired metals company
again,? said Alcoa Chairman and CEO Klaus Kleinfeld. 'Today, as Alcoa
observes its 125th anniversary, the key to our success
remains the dedication of our employees to Alcoa′s values and to the
relentless pursuit of excellence.'
Fortune's Most Admired list is based on surveys of executives,
directors and analysts who rate companies in their own industry.
The complete list of the World′s Most Admired Companies, and related
