Gen recognized as one of America’s Most Responsible companies 2023
Gen, a global leader committed to enabling Digital Freedom, announced today that it has been named to Newsweek's list of America's Most Responsible Companies 2023.
This prestigious award, presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., recognizes GenTM's dedication to improving the lives of its consumers, employees, stakeholders, and communities through dedicated environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives highlighted in this year's ESG Report.
"We are thrilled to be recognized for the third year in a row as one of the most responsible companies in the U.S.," said Kim Allman, head of corporate responsibility at Gen. "This honor is a testament to our longstanding progress in driving a culture of responsibility and we look forward to continuing to serve our communities around the world."
The list of America's Most Responsible Companies was compiled using publicly available key performance indicators (KPIs) derived from CSR Reports, Sustainability Reports, and other reports, as well as an independent survey.

The final list honors the top 500 most responsible companies in the United States, representing 14 industries.
