One of the “Most Trustworthy Companies in America”

In recognition of the company’s integrity and strong corporate values, Newsweek magazine has named California Water Service Group (Group) to its 2026 list of “Most Trustworthy Companies in America.” This is the fourth consecutive year that Group has earned this designation.

The award is presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., a world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. Spanning 23 industries, the list recognizes the top 700 of about 3,400 of the largest U.S.-headquartered public and private companies with annual revenue exceeding $500 million. Rankings were based on an independent survey of 25,000 U.S. residents, generating 101,000 evaluations across three trust touchpoints—customer, employee, and investor—and a social listening analysis of 307,000 company mentions, scored for sentiment, virality, and reach. Group is one of only two water utilities to earn a spot on this year’s list.

“At California Water Service Group, we work hard to earn the trust of our customers, employees, and investors each day by operating responsibly, putting health and safety first, and always striving to do the right thing for those who count on us,” said Marty Kropelnicki, Chairman & CEO. “It’s the legacy that our founders and team members built over the last 100 years, and it’s how we will move forward into the next century.”
