A rare view of Alaska's top corporate citizens

Alaska Business Monthly is proud to present this year's Corporate 100--one hundred companies doing business in Alaska and practicing good corporate citizenship across the entire state. This wide cross-section of businesses exemplifies corporate citizenship. Some of the things that make a good corporate citizen include supporting the economy, providing jobs, and taking care of employees as well as environmental stewardship, community involvement, and philanthropy.

First published in 1993, Alaska Business Monthly's Corporate 100 has changed a little bit over the last twenty-some years. The first year, all the information was collected by the staff of the magazine through various ways and means. Later, we came to rely on individual companies to report information to us and we collected that information via a survey that was sent out and returned by fax and US mail. With the acquisition of proprietary survey software Alaska Business Monthly began sending a hyperlink to an online survey a few years ago, supplementing that with a few mailed and faxed surveys.

These days we rely on self-reporting through the survey links we send out via email, the same as with the other surveys we use information from to populate our monthly directories and the annual Power List. Through the years a committee of Alaska Business Monthly management has selected the Corporate 100 based on a generally accepted models of corporate citizenship.

We've learned to fine tune our survey software and starting next year there will be a few more mandatory questions to help us in the selection process of the Corporate 100. We're kicking around the idea of hosting an event for the Corporate 100, similar to our annual Top 49ers luncheon, but different--maybe a fundraiser, maybe a Corporate Citizenship Awards presentation. We're still working on the idea and welcome input from readers. Let us know your ideas: send a note to editonaakbizmag.com with Corporate 100 Events in the subject line.

In the meantime, here's a rare view of this year's Corporate 100--Alaska's Top Corporate Citizens.
