Together with global workplace authority Great Place to Work, we surveyed companies across the U.S. to find those that best demonstrate outstanding respect, care and concern for their communities, their employees and the environment. The rankings are based on more than 1.3 million survey responses from companies representing more than 8.2 million employees.

Founded in 1990, St. Louis-based World Wide Technology (WWT) is a technology solutions provider leading the AI and Digital Revolution. 

As a good steward of the environment, WWT is striving to reduce waste and water use, two factors they believe tend to get overlooked in the global race to lessen greenhouse-gas emissions. To date, WWT has achieved 51 percent waste diversion from landfills through cardboard, wood, plastic and single-stream recycling, and is on track to meet a 75 percent diversion goal from landfills by 2030. WWT is also on track to achieve water neutrality by 2040. 

"WWT was founded and built on our culture and core values, and it's these core values that differentiate our company from others," says an employee. "Steadfast leadership driving consistent culture at its core makes this company a great place to work."
