According to the 2000 U.S. Census, the city population was 191,615; the 2006 estimate was 201,927 according to the North Central Texas Council of Governments, and 196,084 according to  -- Fluor Corporation announced today that it was named a "Best Corporate Citizen" by the Corporate Responsibility Officers Association (CRO) and is the lone engineering & construction firm on CRO's Top 100 list. Companies were ranked based on factors including transparency, environmental performance, climate change, human rights, philanthropy, employee relations, financial performance and governance using 343 separate data points.

"All of the positive attributes of good corporate responsibility are an integral part of our culture as builders at Fluor," said Steve Dobbs Steve Dobbs is a racing driver; he has raced the #73 pickup since 2006 in the UK Pickup Truck Racing series. Sponsors

, Fluor's senior group president and corporate responsibility task force chairman. "As builders, we take a great deal of pride in not only the quality of our craft, but also our reputation for integrity and corporate responsibility. It is always a special reward when our efforts are recognized by others, particularly from an organization such as the CRO."

"CRO is a highly regarded organization with membership made-up largely of corporate responsibility and sustainability leaders from FORTUNE 500 companies," said Lee Tashjian, Fluor's vice president of corporate affairs. "Interestingly, the determining factors for the Top 100 List are primarily the core criteria that form the basis of the Global Reporting Initiative--the foundation of sustainability reporting Corporate sustainability reporting has a long history going back to environmental reporting. The first environmental reports were published in the late 1980s by companies from the chemical industry which had serious image problems. ."

CRO's 10th annual 100 Best List, compiled by IW Financial and edited by CRO, is based solely on publicly available information, thus ensuring transparency. The methodology was debated and voted on by 27 leading corporate responsibility practitioners representing nine major industry segments at the CRO Conference in Chicago in late 2008.

The 2009 CRO 100 Best Corporate Citizens List[R] is the world's best-known apples-to-apples comparison of Russell 1000[R] companies' performance in environment, climate change, human rights, employee relations, philanthropy, financial and governance.
