Group One of “America’s Most Responsible Companies”

For the fifth consecutive year, Newsweek has named California Water Service Group one of “America’s Most Responsible Companies.” Newsweek and Statista Inc., a leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider, honored Group with the 2026 designation for the utility’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and corporate citizenship.

Group was one of four investor-owned water utilities ranked in the Energy & Utilities category. The 2026 list spans 14 industries and recognizes the top 600 out of the 2,000 largest public companies by revenue with headquarters in the United States.

This year’s recipients were selected based on 30 publicly available key performance indicators (KPIs) derived from corporate social responsibility, sustainability, and other reports, along with independent survey results from U.S. residents. The KPIs centered around environmental, social, and governance performance, while the survey asked respondents about their perception of company activities related to corporate social responsibility.

“At California Water Service Group, we believe in doing the right thing for our customers, communities, employees, stockholders, and the environment,” said Marty Kropelnicki, Group Chairman & CEO. “We appreciate Newsweek affirming our efforts to be a responsible corporate citizen and for recognizing us for half a decade now.”
