AKRON (March 25, 2013) — For the second year in a row, Myers Industries Inc. has been named one of America's "100 Most Trustworthy Companies" in an annual survey commissioned by Forbes magazine.
To determine the yearly rankings, Forbes said GMI Ratings provides the magazine with in-depth quantitative and qualitative financial analysis which looks beyond the raw data of companies' income statements and balance sheets. Non-traditional risk measures are assessed to interpret the highest quality of corporate accounting transparency, solid corporate governance and management practices, lowest incidence of high-risk events, and appropriate board supervision, Myers said.
"Myers Industries is honored to be recognized again this year for our consistent and honest reporting and governance practices," said President and CEO John C. Orr. "Our goal of continuously building shareholder value and trust is one of the most important aspects of our corporate strategy."
