Among those, salesforce.com and its Salesforce Foundation rank number 11 on this year's list.

"During 2006, salesforce.com employees and the Salesforce.com Foundation worked with 3,000 non-profit organizations around the globe to further the causes of youth development, to aid in the recovery of natural disasters, and to equip communities for self-sufficiency and prosperity," said Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO at salesforce.com.

Now in its 8th year, the 100 Best Corporate Citizens list was first developed by Business Ethics magazine, which was incorporated last year into The CRO.

Last week salesforce.com was named to the CIO Insight Top 40 Vendor Value list for 2006. Companies were ranked based on the survey results from more than 800 chief information officers and IT executives about the value of their vendors' product and service offerings, and their overall satisfaction with the support the vendors provide.

Salesforce.com ranked number 20 on the list, noting happily that it was "higher than Microsoft (News - Alert), Oracle and SAP."

Survey results were compiled from responses from 826 CIOs and IT executives (350 from companies with between $5 million and $99 million in revenues; 248 between $100 and $999 million in revenues; and 228 from companies with over $1 billion in revenues) Of the respondents, 51 percent were the top IT executives at their company, and the rest held titles of director of IT or higher.
