October 17, 2008 - In a recent survey of U.S. consumers conducted by the Reputation Institute and the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship, Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB) earned a rating of 79.55 on a scale of 1-to-100. Campbell placed second behind Google on the CSRI 50, a list of the most socially responsible companies in the U.S. Reputation Institute has been measuring corporate reputations rigorously since 1999. The ranking was created using data principally collected for Reputation Institute's 2008 Global Pulse Study. In creating the CSRI, the researchers used a subset of survey results that focused on more than 200 companies with a dominant presence in the United States and believed to have a reasonably high recognition factor with the general public. The data used focused on the public's perception about a company's corporate citizenship, governance and workplace practices. Long active in the communities where it operates, Campbell recently outlined plans to contribute $10 million to Camden's neighborhood revitalization efforts, job training initiatives and projects designed to benefit youth, such as after-school and summer programs in its hometown, Camden, N.J. The $10 million Public Benefits Plan will be funded over the next five years by Campbell and the Campbell Soup company broke ground on a $90 million expansion of its world headquarters. Campbell also plans to help develop an office park adjacent to its campus to attract new businesses to the city. Market Wrap for October 17, 2008 The week's wild ride has concluded, but onlookers might not know it by the relatively mild close had on Friday. The S&P 500 surged almost 12% Monday, suffered its biggest drop since the 1987 crash on Wednesday, and rallied more than 4% Thursday. On Friday alone the index swung nearly 7% from low to high before finishing with a 0.6% loss. The wide swings persist as participants look for direction, even after renowned investor Warren Buffett indicated he was buying stocks. Buffett stated in a New York Times op-ed piece that he is adding U.S. stocks to his personal portfolio, which typically holds government debt. Buffett indicated he will continue to do so as stocks remain attractive. For instance, the S&P 500 currently trades at 18.6x trailing earnings, which is below its five-year average multiple. Google (GOOG 373.11, +20.09) attracted interest, for its part. The Internet search giant announced better-than-expected earnings per share results for the latest quarter. Its shares finished appreciably higher, though off their best level of the session. IBM (IBM 90.78, -0.74) preannounced upbeat earnings per share results last week, so the company didn't garner the same attention as Google. Announcements were mixed elsewhere. Stryker (SYK 52.19, -2.56) missed expectations while Advanced Micro Devices (AMD 4.21, +0.09) announced strong growth. Honeywell (HON 29.37, -1.56) and Schlumberger (SLB 49.99, -3.21) both posted an upside earnings surprise, but had a cautious outlook.
