Otis Worldwide Named One of America’s Most Responsible Companies

Prestigious honor from Newsweek magazine recognizes commitment to corporate social responsibility.

Otis Worldwide (NYSE: OTIS) was honored today by Newsweek as one of America’s Most Responsible Companies.

America’s Most Responsible Companies were selected based on publicly available material, including CSR reports and annual sustainability reports, like Otis’ Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report. An independent survey asking U.S. citizens about their perception of company activities related to corporate social responsibility was also used to help create the final list.

“I am proud of the efforts by our Otis colleagues who recognize that our purpose goes beyond moving people – it’s about how we impact our planet and support our communities so that all can thrive," said Otis Chair, CEO & President Judy Marks. “It’s an honor to be included among America’s Most Responsible Companies by Newsweek. This recognition inspires us to keep making progress toward a better future for our customers, passengers, shareholders, communities, and each other.”

Some of the key areas reviewed include:

• Environmental, such as waste emissions, water usage and energy use
• Social, including leadership diversity and company philanthropy
• Governance, like economic performance and transparency

The final list recognizes the top 500 ‘Most Responsible’ companies based in the United States across all industries. Otis was included in the Capital Goods category alongside companies like 3M, Deere, and Caterpillar to name a few. Otis was also named as one of America’s Most Responsible Companies last year.
