List ranks U.S. companies on factors including
equal opportunity, fair pay policies, respect for employees and job
creation
Exelon announced today it has been named America’s “Most Just”
company in the utilities industry, according to JUST Capital and
Forbes magazine’s inaugural “JUST 100” List. The list ranks
companies in the U.S. based on criteria cited as most important in
a survey of 50,000 Americans over an 18-month period on attitudes
toward corporate behavior.
Publicly traded companies in the U.S. were ranked against their
peers in 32 major industries on criteria such as fair pay, equal
opportunity employment, job creation, workplace safety, compliance
with laws and regulations, and respect for employees.
“At Exelon, our mission to provide reliable, clean and
affordable energy starts with our dedication to our employees,
customers and the communities we serve,” said Chris Crane,
president and CEO of Exelon. “This recognition demonstrates that
our commitment to providing a safe, inclusive workplace and
treating our employees with respect really resonates in the
communities in which we live and work.”
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 more
than 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 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.”
The inaugural JUST 100 list is included in Forbes magazine’s
“Impact and Philanthropy” issue published today. It can also be
