BOSTON SCIENTIFIC EMPHASIZES DIVERSITY AND SUSTAINABILITY—WITH TRANSPARENCY.

In recent years, Boston Scientific has made a big push to increase transparency about its efforts at diversity and inclusion and environmental protection—and that transparency is key to its high debut on the 2020 Just 100. The medical device company has publicly committed to using 100% renewable electricity by 2024 and having 40% of its supervisors and managers women by 2020 (at 38% as of 2018, it’s ahead of schedule). “By consistently reporting on our progress toward those targets, we’re putting a stake in the ground. It’s a way to say, ‘Yes, this issue is a priority, and we’re accountable for the behavior change needed to deliver on this promise,’ ” says CEO Michael Mahoney. “We believe in pushing ourselves further year over year.”
