Southern Company Again Named to Prestigious World's Most Admired Companies List
NORTHAMPTON, MA / / March 10, 2025 / Southern Company was again named to FORTUNE's list of the World's Most Admired Companies for 2025. The company was listed No. 1 in the electric and gas utilities industry in social responsibility to the community and the environment, financial soundness and long-term investment value. Dating back to its early beginnings, Southern Company has operated under the ethos of "being a citizen wherever we serve," ensuring positive impact on each community within the places we live and work. The robust economic activity in the Southeast, complimented by constructive regulatory environments, provides a sound foundation for regular, predictable and sustainable long-term growth. Exemplifying its recognition for financial soundness, every quarter for 77 consecutive years, Southern Company has paid a dividend to its shareholders that is equal to or greater than the previous quarter. The World's Most Admired Companies list is the definitive report card on corporate reputation. Since 1997, FORTUNE has identified, selected and ranked the World's Most Admired Companies, identifying the business practices that make these companies highly regarded among their peers. Southern Company's overall score rose from 6.4 in 2023 to 6.9 in 2024, ranking as one of the top two electric and gas utilities in eight of the nine graded attributes. Among its peers, Southern Company ascended to No. 2 in the categories of innovativeness and wise use of corporate assets. This latest edition saw the company ranked as the world's No. 2 most-admired electric and gas utility overall. The ranking bookends a robust 2024 year for Southern Company, highlighted by the completion of the Plant Vogtle expansion project that saw the site emerge as the largest generator of clean energy in the United States. Also garnering recognition was the systemwide efforts made during the recovery from Hurricane Helene, one of the most-devastating storms in the history of the Southern Company service territory. Further details regarding recent accolades collected by the company can be found on the Southern Company website. Survey Methodology Fortune collaborated with Korn Ferry on this survey of corporate reputations. The publication began with about 1,500 candidates from a pool of the 1,000 largest U.S. companies ranked by revenue, along with non-U.S. companies in Fortune's Global 500 database that have revenues of $10 billion or more. The list was narrowed to the highest-revenue companies in each industry, a total of 650 in 30 countries. The top-rated companies were picked from that pool of 650; the executives who voted work at the companies in that group. To determine the best-regarded companies in 51 industries, Korn Ferry asked executives, directors, and analysts to rate enterprises in their own industry on nine criteria, from investment value and quality of management and products to social responsibility and ability to attract talent. A company's score must rank in the top half of its industry survey to be listed.

Apple tops the 2025 World's Most Admired Companies list for the 18th year in a row
Corporate leaders value stability. And based on our Fortune World's Most Admired Companies All-Stars list, which is based on a poll of thousands of executives, directors, and analysts, tech giant Apple is as steady as they come. For a stunning 18th straight year, finished first in our annual ranking of corporate reputation. (See the full list of the World's Most Admired Companies here.) But rapid change also earns admiration—as long as that change is positive. Few companies in history can match the recent meteoric ascent of . The company and its GPU chips have both tapped into and helped unleash demand for generative AI. Over the past three years, Nvidia's revenue has more than quadrupled, while its share price is up 525%. What might seem like overnight success was decades in the making, of course. (Nvidia was founded in 1993.) And the World's Most Admired Companies list has been tracking Nvidia's ascent since well before AI made it a $3 trillion business. Our reputational research generates two lists (see our methodology here), and Nvidia ranks high on both. The All-Stars list ranks companies by the acclaim they earn in surveys of the wider business community. Nvidia first made that list in 2021; this year it reached No. 4. The other list focuses on industry rankings. We ask insiders about their own companies and their competitors, letting them score companies on a numerical scale in nine categories. With these numbers, people in the know spill the tea. Nvidia has been winning among the insiders for far longer than it's been a household name: It first topped the semiconductor industry ranking in 2017. This year, it finished No. 1 among all companies in all industries in six of our nine categories— the first time a company has accomplished that feat since Apple in 2016. Categories Nvidia won included quality of management, quality of products, and innovativeness. Nvidia also finished in the top 10 in all nine categories, a feat only could match. Apple, No. 1 on the All-Stars list, wasn't far behind among insiders, earning top 10 slots in seven categories. In a year when Apple was criticized by some for having fallen behind in the AI race, it was telling that the experts we surveyed showed confidence in the company over the long term. Lengthy streaks aren't uncommon in the industry rankings. This year, topped the information technology services industry for the 12th year in a row; finished first in securities asset management for the 13th straight year; and won in health insurance for the 15th consecutive time, even as the murder of one of its executives underscored consumer frustration with Big Health Care. In property and casualty insurance, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, which owns Geico, has finished first every year in the history of this survey—27 times in all. That said, this year also saw plenty of churn: In all, there were changes at No. 1 in 16 of the 47 industries we tracked. Among super-regional banks, PNC Bank took the top spot, riding a wave of growth in its asset-management business. Its win ended a 14-year streak for U.S. Bancorp. Some changes reflected deeper turmoil. In apparel, Ralph Lauren took the top spot for the first time since 2014, capping a year in which its shares rose 65%. It dethroned Nike, which had enjoyed 10 straight years at No. 1 but suffered in 2024 from a sharp revenue slump exacerbated by a dearth of new products. (See our story in this issue.) And in a food service industry roiled by inflation, , home of the $5 Happy Meal, finished first. That ended a 12-year reign at No. 1 for coffee giant Starbucks, whose growth has leveled off amid dissatisfaction among customers and employees alike. Those survey results suggest that industry insiders believe both Nike and Starbucks would benefit from a reboot. Perhaps not coincidentally, both companies replaced their CEOs in 2024. And as their presence on our All-Stars list shows, each still has a strong reputation on which to build. Over the past two years, Eli Lilly (No. 21 on our All-Stars list) and Novo Nordisk (debuting at No. 46) have seized center stage in the pharmaceutical industry thanks to drugs that could help tackle the global obesity crisis. GLP-1s include Novo's Ozempic and Wegovy and Lilly's Mounjaro and Zepbound—medications that help lower blood sugar in people with diabetes, but that also appear to curb hunger and support weight loss. Both companies' share prices fell sharply in the second half of 2024, as the drugs encountered new headwinds—including heavier competition and some insurers' reluctance to pay for the pricey medications. But Lilly and Novo have invested heavily in their research pipelines, increasing the odds that their businesses will thrive even after the GLP-1 gold rush ends. For the ninth straight year, Satya Nadella was voted the 'most underrated' Fortune 500 CEO by our respondents—having helped make Microsoft 10-fold more valuable during his tenure, thanks to timely pivots to the cloud and AI. Other top votegetters: Nvidia's Jensen Huang, Doug McMillon of Walmart, Ed Bastian of Delta, and Mary Barra of General Motors. In contrast, respondents chose Tesla's Elon Musk as the 'most overrated' CEO for the third straight year. Musk, of course, has increased his prominence enormously by helping Donald Trump win the presidency; his reputation as a leader may be seen as inflated, but his influence is unmatched. Nike and Starbucks each had a 2024 they'd rather forget—and each slid lower on our All-Stars list. Nike (No. 24) lost ground to competitors and suffered plummeting sales after it stopped selling through some retail partners. Starbucks (No. 29) faced surging consumer annoyance over long waits at its coffee shops, which the company blamed on aging technology and complex drink orders. In some cities, meanwhile, baristas went on strike for better pay and benefits. The brands' rebound strategies are a study in contrasts: Look for Nike to launch a host of new shoe models, while Starbucks aims to simplify its menus and spruce up stores to better serve people in a hurry.
