Public scrutiny of companies has become a regular discussion for many in the last few years. Whether the subject is wealth inequality or tackling climate change, more Americans expect companies to lead the charge. Simply put, they expect businesses to use their resources in a "just" manner that promotes corporate social responsibility. While not all companies have responded positively to the greater public scrutiny, many companies have adapted to the times to balance corporate interests with the public's interest. In fact, JUST Capital, a nonprofit that "aims to build an economy that works for all Americans by helping companies improve how they serve all their stakeholders," listed over 800 companies in its 2020 overall rankings. Included on its list were 44 insurance companies, with more than half directly tied to the property & casualty insurance industry.

Methodology

JUST Capital's 2019 survey asked a representative sample of more than 4,000 Americans to compare 29 different business issues on a head-to-head basis. They then assigned each issue to the stakeholder — either workers, customers, communities, the environment or shareholders — it most impacts. Since 2016, JUST Capital has ranked the largest, publicly-traded U.S. corporations, producing a list that reflects how well each company measures up against the American public's definition of just business behavior. The full methodology, as well as the details of its survey methodology in its 2019 Survey Report, can be found on the company's website. With this in mind, explore our slideshow above to see the top 15 most 'just' P&C insurance companies of 2020. Related:
