JUST 100 recognizes companies doing right by
stakeholders as defined by the American public
Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB) was named one of
America’s Most JUST Companies by JUST Capital and CNBC, its media
partner. This marks the fourth year that Campbell has been
recognized for its commitment to serving its stakeholders,
including employees, customers, consumers, communities, the
environment and shareholders. Campbell ranked #77 overall and
performed particularly well in the areas of community development
and transparent consumer communications—earning top marks on both
metrics.
“We are honored to again be recognized as one of America’s Most
JUST companies,” said Mark Clouse, Campbell’s President and Chief
Executive Officer. “Delivering on the promise of our purpose is a
key pillar of our strategic plan. We believe that acting with care
and character and doing right by all stakeholders is a business
imperative and key to unlocking the full growth potential of our
company and employees.”
JUST Capital, in partnership with CNBC, evaluates and celebrates
U.S. corporations that outperform on the issues that matter most to
the American public—such as creating jobs in the U.S., prioritizing
accountability to all stakeholders, protecting worker health and
safety, providing benefits and work-life balance, cultivating a
diverse and inclusive workplace, producing sustainable products and
protecting consumer privacy, among others.
JUST collects and analyzes corporate data to evaluate the 1,000
largest public U.S. companies across 20 stakeholder-focused issues
as identified through the most comprehensive ongoing public opinion
research on Americans’ attitudes toward responsible corporate
behavior, engaging more than 150,000 participants since 2015.
“We’ve entered a new era of accountability where employees,
customers, and investors want to understand if companies are not
just talking the talk but walking the walk to drive change on the
critical issues of our time,” said Martin Whittaker, CEO of JUST
Capital. “The companies featured in the 2022 JUST 100 are
demonstrating that purpose and profits can go hand in hand by
delivering value to all stakeholders, including shareholders.”
Campbell has long been recognized as a leader in transparency
and corporate responsibility. In 2021, the company was named one of
America’s Most Responsible Companies by Newsweek, one of America’s
Best Employers for Diversity by Forbes and a Champion of Board
Diversity by the Forum of Executive Women. Campbell was also
included on multiple indices including the FTSE4Good Index, the
Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index and the MSCI Index Series.
