Humana ranked No. 1 out of 27 companies in the Health Care
Providers and Services industry based on one of the largest surveys
ever conducted on attitudes toward corporate behavior, involving
50,000 Americans over the last 18 months. Respondents ranked
companies on various aspects of responsible business practices,
such as fair pay, business ethics and lack of discrimination. The
result is this year’s list, which ranks U.S. companies against
their peers within 32 major industries.
“We are honored to be included on the JUST 100 List,” said Tim
Huval, Humana Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources
Officer. “Our commitment to corporate responsibility – as evidenced
in part by our work to improve the health of the communities we
serve, our inclusion and diversity focus, and the integration of
ethics & compliance into the work we do – is a reflection of
our core values. We’re pleased to know that Americans recognize
that.”
JUST Capital conducted its survey in partnership with NORC at
the University of Chicago, an independent research institution that
delivers data and rigorous analysis to guide programmatic,
business, and policy decisions. JUST then evaluated the performance
of over 890 publicly traded companies against the priorities that
emerged in the survey and created a ranking model to develop the
JUST 100. This selection of companies draws from the Russell 1000
Index, which represents more than 90 percent of the U.S. stock
market value.
The six highest-ranked issues by the public, in order, were:
providing a fair pay for industry and job level; non-discrimination
in hiring, firing, and promotion practices; providing a safe
workplace; following laws and regulations; respecting workers; and
creating jobs in the U.S. JUST’s scoring system is weighted to
reflect the relative importance of the public’s stated
priorities.
The inaugural JUST 100 list will appear in Forbes
magazine’s December 20th “Impact and Philanthropy” issue.
“The JUST 100 celebrates the best of American business,” said
Martin Whittaker, CEO of JUST Capital. “These amazing companies
show that in America today the best companies do right by all their
stakeholders – and by listening to the voice of the American
people. We salute all of the JUST 100 companies and look forward to
working with them to help more companies understand that JUST
behavior and commercial success can go hand-in-hand.”
Forbes editor Randall Lane said, “The JUST 100 List is the most
authoritative, unbiased source of data about how corporations
perform on the things people in the U.S. care about most. The list
combines powerful insights into how Americans feel about corporate
behavior with an unprecedented view of how our leading corporations
stack up. We’re thrilled to partner with JUST Capital in
recognizing the companies that are leading the way in exhibiting
JUST corporate behavior.”
