The researches distilled those responses to 36 components constituting 10 metrics by which companies from the Russell 1000 were judged – worker treatment, worker pay and benefits, customer treatment, leadership and ethics, environmental impact, supply-chain impact, domestic job creation, community well-being, investor alignment and product attributes.
