What were the most trustworthy business sectors in 2010? We recently ran this question through our FIDES ™ computer software. We bundled all the companies in our database (almost 3000), sorted by sector and pressed “go!” Here are the top 5 sectors- there are 16 in total:
Basic Materials– lead by Lubrizol (www.lubrizol.com) and Eastman Chemical (www.eastman.com)
Oils-Energy– lead by Hess (www.hess.com)
Utilities– lead by Pinnacle West Capitol Corp. (www.pinnaclewest.com) and Oge Energy (www.oge.com)
Consumer Staples– lead by Avon Products (www.avoncompany.com)
Auto-Tires-Trucks– lead by Cummins Inc. (www.cummins.com)
Our data incorporates five key drivers of trustworthy business behavior: Financial stability/strength; Accounting conservativeness: Corporate integrity; Transparency and Sustainability. We call this FACTS (tm).
One of the goals of Trust Across America is for the top trustworthy companies to start sharing best practices with their peers.
