JUST Capital is an independent nonprofit that demonstrates how just business - defined by the priorities of the public - is better business. The Rankings of America's Most JUST Companies are the only measure of how the nation's largest corporations are performing on the business issues that matter most to Americans. The issues - which include paying a fair, living wage, creating jobs in the U.S., supporting workforce retention and training, providing benefits and work-life balance, protecting customer privacy, minimizing pollution and more - are defined annually by an extensive nationwide polling process done on a fully representative basis. The top 100 companies - the JUST 100 - are determined by scoring performance across the full range of criteria and comparing companies head-to-head.

For the annual Rankings, JUST Capital collects and analyzes corporate data to evaluate the 1,000 largest public U.S. companies across 20 issues identified through comprehensive, ongoing public opinion research on Americans' attitudes toward responsible corporate behavior. JUST Capital has engaged more than 170,000 participants, on a fully representative basis, since 2015.

"American capitalism has to work for more Americans. For this to happen, the private sector, and especially big corporations, must take the lead in creating value for all their stakeholders," said JUST Capital CEO Martin Whittaker. "That's exactly what the JUST 100 are doing. They show that just business is better business."
