ORLEANS, Feb. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Fortune
magazine has recognized Entergy among the top utilities on its
World's Most Admired Companies list for 2025. Entergy was
recognized by industry peers for its commitment to innovation and
social responsibility, its long-term investment value and global
competitiveness. This is the first time Entergy has been selected
as a finalist for inclusion on this prestigious list.
"It is truly an honor to be named one of the most-admired
electric utilities by Fortune magazine," said Drew Marsh, chair and CEO of Entergy. "This
ranking is a recognition of our 12,000 employees who provide
exceptional service to our customers and communities each day as we
deliver safe, reliable, affordable and cleaner energy solutions for
everyone."
The World's Most Admired Companies list serves as a definitive
benchmark for corporate reputation and the most respected companies
worldwide since 1997. To determine the rankings, company
executives, directors and financial analysts are independently
surveyed to rate companies that command the strongest reputations
in their own industries and beyond. The rankings are based on an
extensive evaluation of nine key attributes, including innovation,
people management, use of corporate assets, social responsibility,
quality of management, financial soundness, long-term investment,
quality of products and services, and global competitiveness.
Entergy's inclusion on the 2025 World's Most Admired Companies
list builds on the company's recent recognitions as a top utility
in economic development for the 17th year from Site Selection
magazine and the ninth year in a row as an honoree of The Civic
50 and the utilities sector leader for the second straight
year. The Civic 50 is Points of Light's prestigious list honoring
the top companies leading the way in employee volunteerism and
community investment in the United
States. Entergy was also ranked as one of the top 100 Most
JUST Companies by JUST Capital.
