BETHESDA, Md., Feb. 3, 2025
/PRNewswire/ -- Marriott International today announced it has once
again been named among FORTUNE Magazine's World's Most Admired
Companies. The company has appeared on Fortune's Most Admired
Companies' list consecutively since its inception in 1998. Marriott
was named number one in the Hotels, Casinos, and
Resorts category and placed number 13 in this year's ranking
overall.
Fortune's annual ranking assesses businesses across industries
on nine criteria of corporate reputation, including leadership
excellence, innovation, social responsibility, and ability to
attract talent.
"It is an honor to be consistently included in FORTUNE's
esteemed list of the World's Most Admired Companies. This
recognition is a testament to the strength of our enduring culture
and our focus on putting people first," said Anthony Capuano, President and Chief Executive
Officer, Marriott International. "We
are proud to see Marriott recognized for our dedication to serving
our guests, associates, and communities around the world."
This accolade follows other recent recognitions for the company
– including FORTUNE and Great Place to Work's 100 Best Companies to
Work For in 2024 – and reflects the successful launch of the
company's people brand "Be" in 2023. Designed to attract and retain
top talent, "Be" empowers associates to fulfill their career goals,
offers opportunities to grow in the hospitality industry and
furthers Marriott's commitment to welcome all.
As the company approaches its 100th anniversary,
Marriott continues its focus on its core values of putting people
first, pursuing excellence, embracing change, acting with integrity
and serving our world.
Company associates volunteered more than 3.4 million hours in
local communities worldwide in 2024, with over 14.8 million
associate volunteer hours reported since 2016. Efforts include
disaster response and supporting relief and recovery efforts in
places like Hawaii, Kenya, Haiti
and, more recently, Los Angeles,
California. The company has also trained more than 1.4
million Marriott associates in human trafficking awareness since
2016 in support of Marriott's goal to train all on-property
associates in what to look for and how to respond. Outside of the
company, Marriott's training has also been completed 2.2 million
times by hospitality professionals.

Survey Methodology
Fortune collaborated with
Korn Ferry on this survey of
corporate reputations. They began with a universe of about 1,500
candidates: 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 then winnowed the assortment to the highest-revenue
companies in each industry, a total of 650 companies 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.
