(RTTNews) - Thirteen finalists have been selected for the US
Secretary of State's prestigious 2011 Award for Corporate Excellence (ACE).
These U.S. companies were chosen from 62 nominations submitted by
American Ambassadors around the world. ACE finalists are international business
leaders who recognize the vital role that U.S. businesses play abroad as good
corporate citizens.
This year's finalists are Amway in China, ANOVA Food, LLC in
Indonesia, Archer Daniels Midland Company in Paraguay, Cargill in India,
General Motors in Uzbekistan, Grenada
Chocolate Company in Grenada, Intel in
Vietnam, Johnson & Johnson in Russia, Joy Global in South Africa, Procter
& Gamble in Nigeria, Procter & Gamble in Pakistan, Sahlman Seafoods in
Nicaragua, and Tiger Machinery in Russia.
The Secretary of State has awarded the ACE since 1999 to recognize
American companies who are leaders in socially responsible activities and
contribute to the overall growth and development of the local economy in which
they work.
The State Department said in a statement on Monday that it is
committed to working with business to further these best practices worldwide
and to recognize efforts to improve lives
at home and abroad.
The 2011 ACE winners will be announced at an annual ceremony
hosted by the Secretary of State later this fall.
