Granite Named One of America’s “Most Trustworthy Companies” for the Third Consecutive Year

WATSONVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Granite Construction Incorporated (NYSE:GVA) announced today that they have been named to the Forbes list of 100 Most Trustworthy Companies in America for the third consecutive year.

“We are honored to once again be recognized as one of the most trustworthy companies in America,” said Granite President and Chief Executive Officer, James H. Roberts. “We owe this recognition to our employees who are the heart and soul of our company and to our Code of Conduct which encompasses the values that have been and will continue to be vital to our success.”

Granite is among only 18 companies operating in the U.S. that have the distinction of having made the list several times in the past few years – displaying a consistent level of trustworthiness.

To create this list, MSCI ESG Research screened 2,300 publicly-traded U.S. companies to identify the 100 of those based on the strength of those companies’ AGR ratings — “Accounting and Governance Risk” — the composite scores by which organizations are judged. Factors considered include high risk behaviors like regulatory actions, amended filings, revenue and expense recognition methods, and bankruptcy risk. Companies are scored on a 1 to 100 point scale, with 70 being the lowest score to appear on this year’s list.
