The JUST 100 Rankings 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.
