Recognition from third-party groups
Our efforts to build a sustainable and responsible organization have been recognized by several third-party groups.
For the third time in four years, General Mills was named in the top 10 of Corporate Responsibility magazine’s “100 Best Corporate Citizens.”
Our company was No. 3 in 2010.
The ranking is regarded as the top corporate responsibility ranking based on publicly available information. The list is based on data in seven categories that are publicly available, including human rights, climate change, environment, philanthropy, employee relations, finance and corporate governance.
General Mills also made several other prestigious top rankings in 2010.
- Fortune magazine named us to its list of the top 50 of the “World’s Most Admired Companies” and to its list of “100 Best Companies to Work For.”
- The Ethisphere Institute selected us as one of the “world’s most ethical companies” for the third year in a row. The institute is a New York-based think tank dedicated to advancement of best practices in business ethics, corporate social responsibility, anti-corruption and sustainability.
While our reputation as a great place to work is well-known within the U.S., our reputation as an employer of choice is growing internationally.
- The Financial Times named us as one of the “United Kingdom’s 50 Best Workplaces.”
- In Canada, the Great Place to Work Institute selected us as one of the country’s “top 75 best workplaces.”
- And in Australia, we were named as a “recommended employer” by a national group that conducts a comprehensive survey of companies and organizations.
