Mountain View Tire is proud to be affiliated with Goodyear, and here's another reason why.

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has been named as one of the most socially responsible U.S. companies by the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship and the Reputation Institute.

In a survey of U.S. consumers, Goodyear earned a 74.4 rating, ranking it 32nd on the 2010 Boston College Corporate Social Responsibility Index. Goodyear is the only automotive or tire company listed.

The Corporate Social Responsibility Index captures public perceptions about the corporate citizenship, governance, and workplace practices of more than 200 companies in the United States.

According to a press release issued by the company, Goodyear is committed to nurturing an inclusive and rewarding workplace for its associates, fostering a high standard for ethical behavior, providing support for the communities it serves, and implementing sustainable environmental practices, all while bringing innovative tires to motorists around the world.

The company’s corporate citizenship has previously been recognized by inclusion on CRO magazine’s list of “100 Best Corporate Citizens,” Forbes magazine’s America’s most-trustworthy companies list, Fortune magazine’s ranking of America’s most-respected companies, and Newsweek magazine’s “Greenest Big Companies in America” listing.
