OUR RESEARCH, RANKINGS, INDEXES, AND DATA-DRIVEN TOOLS EMPOWER ALL MARKET PARTICIPANTS TO HELP BUILD AN ECONOMY THAT WORKS FOR ALL AMERICANS. WE POLL AMERICANS EVERY YEAR TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUES THAT MATTER MOST IN DEFINING JUST BUSINESS BEHAVIOR TODAY. WE THEN DEFINE METRICS THAT MAP TO THOSE ISSUES AND TRACK AND ANALYZE THE LARGEST, PUBLICLY TRADED U.S. COMPANIES. SINCE 2015 WE'VE SURVEYED NEARLY 185,000 AMERICANS ON THEIR PRIORITIES FOR CAPITALISM AND JUST BUSINESS BEHAVIOR. OUR SURVEY RESEARCH NOT ONLY PROVIDES A CLEAR ROADMAP FOR WHAT ISSUES MATTER MOST TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WHEN IT COMES TO JUST BUSINESS BEHAVIOR, BUT ALSO DETAILS TIMELY, RELEVANT INSIGHTS INTO AMERICAN SENTIMENTS INTO THE MOST CRITICAL ISSUES OF OUR TIME.IN 2024, WE TRACKED, ANALYZED, AND RANKED 940 COMPANIES ACROSS FIVE STAKEHOLDER GROUPS, 17 ISSUES, AND 88 DATA POINTS. OF THESE COMPANIES, 560 REGISTERED FOR OUR CORPORATE PORTAL AND 274 ENGAGED WITH OUR DATA REVIEW PERIOD, REPRESENTING APPROXIMATELY 9 MILLION WORKERS, OVER 5% OF THE TOTAL U.S. WORKFORCE. 45% OF RANKED COMPANIES STATED THAT OUR WORK HELPED INFORM AND/OR PROMPT IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW POLICIES OR PRACTICES WITHIN THEIR ORGANIZATION, OR RESULTED IN GREATER PUBLIC DISCLOSURE. OF THOSE RESPONDENTS WHO NOTED OTHERWISE, 57% SAID THAT ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR WORK PROMPTED CONVERSATION OR CONSIDERATION ABOUT OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT ON THE ISSUES WE COVER. OUR ANNUAL RANKINGS OF AMERICA'S MOST JUST COMPANIES SHOWCASED THE COMPANIES AT THE FOREFRONT OF STAKEHOLDER-DRIVEN LEADERSHIP, TRACKING HOW CORPORATE LEADERS DELIVERED VALUE TO ALL THEIR STAKEHOLDERS.
