For its annual rankings, JUST collects and analyzes corporate data evaluating the 1,000 largest public U.S. companies across 20 stakeholder-focused issues. Those issues are identified through comprehensive ongoing public opinion research on Americans’ attitudes toward responsible corporate behavior. Since 2015, JUST’s research has engaged more than 150,000 people to gather and assess clear themes that are important to the public at large. Key focus areas include how a company invests in employees, supports its communities, prioritizes good governance, treats its customers, and minimizes its environmental impact.
“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.”
The JUST 100 recognition is the latest in a series of recognitions for Regions. Last month, Newsweek magazine announced Regions is included in its third annual list of America’s Most Responsible Companies. The list contains 499 of the largest public corporations ranked by key performance indicators in three key areas of corporate social responsibility: Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance. Both the JUST Capital and Newsweek rankings reflect Regions’ strategic, ongoing commitment to ESG issues.
