METHODOLOGY:
Forbes partnered with Just Capital to rigorously evaluate 928 of the nation’s largest publicly traded companies (the Russell 1000 minus REITs and pending mergers). Just Capital pulls data from public reports, company surveys and crowdsourced repositories and, using a team of data scientists and statisticians, weighs that data based on what a survey of 95,000 Americans indicate are the most important aspects of business behavior: Weightings are based on the treatment of workers (41%), community (20.7%), customers (14.8%), shareholders (14.7%) and the environment (8.9%).
