American Water Earns Spot on TIME World’s Best Companies 2026 List
Camden-based American Water has secured a position on TIME’s World’s Best Companies 2026 ranking, a distinction reflecting the utility’s performance across employee satisfaction, revenue growth, and sustainability metrics. The honor arrives as the firm approaches its 140th anniversary, marking a significant milestone in its long-standing history of utility management.

The annual recognition, produced in partnership with Statista, evaluates the top 1,000 global organizations through a multi-dimensional lens. Analysts assessed companies based on survey data from over 200,000 employees, three-year revenue trajectories, and standardized ESG performance indicators. For American Water, the inclusion validates a corporate strategy focused on operational reliability and workforce development.
John Griffith, President and CEO of the company, attributed the ranking to the firm’s commitment to providing clean, affordable services while maintaining a productive internal culture. This latest accolade follows the utility's recent appearances on TIME’s lists for both the world’s most sustainable and America’s best companies for 2026. Currently serving approximately 14 million people across 14 states and 19 military installations, the company continues to leverage its national scale to drive infrastructure outcomes.
