Top responsible IT firms named

IT giants Cisco and Intel were neck and neck atop the Technology-Hardware category in the awards, while Adobe took the gong in the Technology-Software category. The study rated firms based on their performance in eight categories, namely: the environment, climate change, human rights, employee relations, philanthropy, corporate governance, financial and lobbying.

In all around 170 data elements were used to rank competitors and firms were given scores compared to how other businesses operated in their industry.

Adobe topped the software table thanks to a strong performance in a wide variety of categories. The firm scored in the top 20 of all eight categories, including fourth in employee relations. Among its perks in this field, Adobe offers employees a maximum of 100 hours of backup childcare annually, and care for the elderly when normal arrangements don’t materialize.
