Chairman and CEO Jim Rogers made an appearance on Bloomberg TV Surveillance to discuss Eastman’s ranking as #7 on the Bloomberg Businessweek Top 50. This list identifies companies in the S&P 500 with the best recent performance and outlook for the future. The list is based on four factors: one-year and five-year risk-adjusted returns, consensus analyst recommendations, and projected earnings growth.

During the interview, Jim attributed Eastman’s success to our highly ethical, performance-driven culture and the hard work of our employees around the globe. He also expressed his satisfaction regarding Eastman’s recent acquisition of Solutia, saying that it has helped move us forward as a specialty chemical company, increased our market diversity and expanded our global footprint.
