What ranking methodology is used for the 100 Best Corporate Citizens?
3BL creates the methodology based on the latest developments in corporate sustainability and non-financial disclosure, extensive feedback from corporate and NGO stakeholders, and guidance from our data partner ISS-Corporate.
The 2026 methodology includes seven pillars and 221 factors that measure a company's performance and transparency in a specific area. While the weight of each pillar is published, the weight of each factor is not disclosed so that the ranking methodology cannot be replicated or reverse engineered.
3BL builds its custom methodology with factors carefully selected from ISS STOXX's E&S QualityScore, reducing the administrative burden on companies to verify data they already verify for the E&S QualityScore.
How can my company promote its inclusion on the 100 Best Corporate Citizens ranking?
