The Newsweek announcement states, "Corporations aren't just impersonal machines for making money; they are also members of the communities where their employees, customers, and neighbors live and work. The businesses on our list are in dozens of different industries and vary widely in size. But they all share a set of values, and we are proud to recognize them."

Overall, Range achieved a 70.0 score and scored a high mark of 82.9 for the social category score. For more information on the in-depth rating methodology, visit Newsweek's presentation here.
