Newsweek Magazine recently announced its third annual Most Responsible Companies for 2022.
Newsweek, in partnership with Statista — one of the largest statistics database companies worldwide — evaluated America’s Most Responsible Companies based on the 2,000 largest public companies by revenue in the U.S. The final list recognizes the Top 500 performing companies spanning 14 industries that are making a difference through their environmental, social and corporate governance actions in the nation.
