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.
