Wyndham Worldwide (NYSE:WYN) has been ranked by FORTUNE magazine as the most admired company in the hospitality industry, recognizing its overall performance, innovative and quality offerings, management, and strong corporate values. The FORTUNE Most Admired Companies annual ranking is based on surveys of top executives, directors, investors and industry analysts evaluating companies on nine criteria, ranging from investment value to social responsibility.
“We are honored and humbled by this recognition by our peers,” says Stephen P. Holmes, chairman and chief executive officer of Wyndham Worldwide. “Our corporate reputation is built every day by the over 27,000 Wyndham Worldwide associates across the globe. Through their innovative spirit, commitment to our core values, and passion in providing an outstanding experience for our customers, we continue growing as one of the largest and best performing hospitality companies in the world.”
With operations in over 100 countries, Wyndham Worldwide encompasses the world’s largest hotel company based on number of properties, the world’s largest vacation exchange network and marketer of serviced vacation rentals, and the world’s largest vacation ownership business.
“With a focus on our performance, our people, and the communities where we operate, our approach goes beyond what we do, but how we do it,” says Holmes. “For our company, it is important that we not only remain a strong company, but one that is an innovative industry leader, a responsible corporate citizen, and a great place to work, which together has driven our success through even the most turbulent of times.”
In addition to the FORTUNE Most Admired Companies list, Wyndham Worldwide is ranked among the Top 100 Greenest Companies in the U.S. by Newsweek magazine and among the Top 100 Best Companies by Working Mother magazine.
