2023 US Awards
In 2023, company rankings were determined through review of annual proxy statements, annual reports on Form 10-K, ESG reports, investor relations websites, and codes of conduct.
Each company’s documents were scored using 237 discrete criteria that flesh out the pillars of transparency.
The top S&P 250 companies are ranked, with no need to enter and no fee. Every company receives its personal and confidential annual ranking.
The criteria are objective.
The criteria are available on our website.
