They asked over 70,000 participants around the world to evaluate statements such as, "I trust in this company to treat me fairly as its customer," "I trust that this company is competently led," and "I believe this company treats its employees fairly."

“The inclusion in Newsweek’s World’s Most Trustworthy Companies list underscores our unwavering commitment to our core value of doing the right thing,” said Lisa Barton, President and Chief Operations Officer at Alliant Energy. “Our continued dedication to transparency with our customers, employees and investors remains at the heart of our purpose to serve customers and build stronger communities.”
