OSHKOSH, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE: OSK) today announced that it has been
recognized as one of FORTUNE’s World’s Most Admired Companies. Oshkosh
Corporation is one of 330 companies to achieve this honor, as ranked by
industry peers, highlighting some of the most respected and successful
companies from around the world.
Oshkosh Corporation ranked fourth in the “Construction and Farm
Machinery” category. This is the first time that Oshkosh Corporation has
received this prestigious award and Oshkosh is one of only five
Wisconsin-based companies named.
“We’re honored to be part of this distinguished ranking,” said Wilson R.
Jones, Oshkosh Corporation President & Chief Executive Officer. “Not
only does Oshkosh Corporation have a strong positive long-term outlook,
we also have a thriving People First Culture and a mission to make a
difference in people’s lives, which positions us well as we embark on
our second century of business.”
FORTUNE collaborated with partner Korn Ferry on this survey
of corporate reputation and began with a universe of about 1,500
candidates including the 1,000 largest U.S. companies ranked by revenue,
along with non-U.S. companies in FORTUNE's Global 500 database that have
revenues of $10 billion or more. The list was then narrowed to the
highest-revenue companies in each industry, a total of 680 in 29
countries. The top-rated companies were picked from that pool of 680;
the executives who voted work at the companies in that group.
To determine the best-regarded companies in 52 industries, Korn Ferry
asked executives, directors, and analysts to rate enterprises in their
own industry on nine criteria, from investment value and quality of
management and products to social responsibility and ability to attract
talent. A company’s score must rank in the top half of its industry
survey to be listed.
Results were not published in the following categories owing to
insufficient response rates: Cable and Satellite Providers, Petroleum
Refining, Pipelines, and U.S. Energy. To select the top 50 All-Stars,
Korn Ferry asked 3,900 executives, directors, and securities analysts
who had responded to the industry surveys to identify the 10 companies
they admired most. They chose from a list made up of the companies that
ranked in the top 25% in last year’s surveys, plus those that finished
in the top 20% of their industry. Anyone could vote for any company in
any industry.
In addition to be named one of FORTUNE’s World’s Most Admired Companies,
Oshkosh Corporation has earned the titles of one of the World’s Most
Ethical Companies® by Ethisphere Institute in 2016 and 2017, one of
America’s Best Large Companies by Forbes in 2016 and 2017 and a Military
Friendly Employer by Victory Media. Thanks to feedback from team
members, Oshkosh Corporation was also named one of the 2018 Best Places
to Work by Glassdoor.
