Group One Of “World’s Most Trustworthy Companies”

In recognition of the utility’s commitment to “always do the right thing,” Newsweek today named California Water Service Group (Group) one of the “World’s Most Trustworthy Companies.”

This is the third year in a row Group has earned this designation, which comes six months after receiving the nod as one of “America’s Most Trustworthy Companies” for 2025. Newsweek and Statista Inc., a leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider, gave the company the global recognition—also in its third year—based on feedback and analysis from the utility’s customers, investors, and employees.

Newsweek honored 61 companies in the energy and utilities category across 20 countries, with Group being one of only three water utilities recognized. This year’s list, which spans 23 industries, recognizes 1,000 of the largest stock exchange—listed companies with annual revenues of more than $500 million USD. Rankings were determined through both an independent survey of more than 65,000 participants submitting 200,000 evaluations and a social listening analysis of more than 500,000 company mentions.

“As a purpose-driven company committed to enhancing the quality of life for our customers, communities, employees, and stockholders, we strive to earn their trust each and every day,” said Martin A. Kropelnicki, Group Chairman & CEO. “We appreciate the feedback that our customers, investors, and employees have given and the recognition among the world’s top companies from
Newsweek for the third consecutive year.”
