Help Shape the Future
We’re inviting corporate leaders to join 1:1 interviews or focus groups to provide feedback on the next generation of JUST Intelligence.
FAQ
Yes — we plan to release rankings in 2026, but with some important changes. Feedback from our corporate network shows that while the rankings are highly valued, companies want them to deliver more actionable insights.
We’re reviewing and refining our approach to ensure the rankings remain relevant, credible, and impactful. The revised rankings will place greater emphasis on the relevance of our data points and will be tailored more closely to specific industry contexts, ensuring companies gain insights that reflect their unique realities rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
This careful review takes time, but will create a more customizable and value-added rankings that is tailored to company-, industry-, and issue-level contexts. We’ll share more specific details on these changes in early 2026.
We’ll continue to publish the top 100 JUST Companies in America and still capture the companies leading on the issues that matter most to Americans on a company and industry level. We’ll share more updates in early 2026.
Due to improvements in our data collection and validation processes the corporate data review period has become unnecessary. That was a cumbersome task for many of our companies, and we are grateful to the contribution that many of our participating companies have made to our data validation approach over the years.
- We’ve invested heavily in strengthening our data collection and validation process by:
- following a responsive model, beginning collection only after companies release their latest sustainability reports, 10-Ks, and proxies—ensuring we work from the most current information available.
- extending the collection window has also been extended through October 31, the latest yet, giving us more time to capture even the most recent disclosures.
- introducing automated QA checks that flag unusual year-over-year changes, with particular attention to cases where credit may have been lost.
- streamlining our dataset—reducing it from 236 data points in 2024 to 85 in 2025—so that each measure receives greater scrutiny and reflects clear, unambiguous criteria.
Our analysis shows that most prior review submissions improved by only 3 percentage points, and they primarily addressed brand-new or missed reports—precisely the challenges our improvements now resolve. As a result, we no longer require a formal company data review period. Moving forward, we’ll focus on deep engagements with companies on the insights and outcomes that matter most—rather than data corrections.
No, we have decided to retire the manual review of company data through our Corporate Portal. We are grateful for the contribution that many of our participating companies have made to our data validation approach over the years. That said, companies will be able to view their data in early 2026 through our new JUST Intelligence platform. Of course, if you wish to provide us with feedback or have any questions, we strongly encourage you to reach out to us.
We collect the most recent publicly available data, looking back three years. JUST Capital analysts gather information from a variety of reputable sources, including company filings, public documents, external data providers, government records, and research from academic and nonprofit organizations.
We collect data through to October 31, and any publicly available disclosures submitted before that date that meet our data point criteria will be included and credited to the company in JUST Intelligence based on the latest disclosure.
JUST Intelligence is a research and data engine that will launch in 2026. The tool integrates company data with curated 3rd party financial, operating, and impact data, to help corporate leaders find the optimal balance between priorities and stakeholders for their business. JUST Intelligence also provide detailed performance insights and peer comparisons, enabling companies to benchmark against industry leaders and identify opportunities for strategic improvement
