SOME OF THE ASSESSMENTS FROM NONPROFIT JUST CAPITAL FOR EACH COMPANY’S POLICIES THAT AFFECT WORKERS, CUSTOMERS, SHAREHOLDERS AND MORE

NOTES Most of the information in this story comes from the proxy statements and reports that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires publicly traded U.S. companies to file each year. Overseas companies such as Sony, and privately held ones such as MGM, do not file and are not included in our tally. The SEC filing requirements are designed to help people compare information from different companies. There are some caveats: Companies file reports for their fiscal years. Most coincide with the calendar year, but several do not: Lionsgate’s fiscal year ends in March, Fox’s ends in June and Disney’s ends in September. Our data is from their most recent annual filings.

Our data about the composition and ages of company boards also reflects the information included in the latest proxy statements.
