About the list
Fortune partnered with Korn Ferry, a prominent global organizational and research firm, to create this corporate reputation list, which considers the highest-revenue companies in 52 industries, including 333 companies in 30 countries.
With his retirement around the corner, Tim Nickel, didn’t think his legacy after 15 years at Best Buy would be gift cards. But then again, he didn’t know his idea would help keep more than 200 tons of plastic waste from landfills.
That idea was a recyclable paper gift card.
Tim, who’s our gift card production manager, is responsible for printing the cards and getting them on store shelves in the U.S. and Canada. In 2011, he learned just how many gift cards go to landfills and that each one takes around 500 years to break down.
