Newsweek on Wednesday released its list recognizing the Top 500 most responsible companies in the U.S. based on performance in the areas of environment, social & corporate governance, or ESG. Seventeen companies from New Jersey made the list of America’s Most Responsible Companies 2023.
To highlight those corporations that are actually serious about trying to be good guys, Newsweek partnered with global research and data firm Statista for its fourth annual list. This year’s list varies dramatically by size and by industry. Newsweek said the largest number of responsible companies (55) are in the materials and chemicals business; the fewest (12) in hotels, dining and leisure. The most in the Top 10 represent the consumer goods sector (5).
A pool of 2,000 companies across 14 industries were evaluated and ranked based on a detailed analysis of key performance indicators in three areas of corporate social responsibility: environmental, social & corporate governance.
