About

JUST what the world needs

The world needs more just companies. Companies that believe in fair pay and equal treatment for all workers. Companies that create good jobs and understand the value of strong communities. Companies that are committed to a healthy planet. JUST Capital measures and ranks companies on the issues Americans care about most so you can then act on that knowledge. With your voice, your purchase decisions, your investment dollars, your career choices, your leadership, you have the power to make the world a more just place.

Our Origins

JUST Capital was co-founded in 2014 by a group of concerned people from the world of business, finance, and civil society – including Paul Tudor Jones II, Deepak Chopra, Rinaldo Brutoco, Arianna Huffington, Paul Scialla, Alan Fleischmann, and others – who believed that business and markets can and must be a greater force for good, and that by shifting the resources of the private sector, we can address America’s greatest challenges at scale, including income inequality and access to opportunity. By establishing the organization as a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) registered nonprofit, the founders ensured that JUST Capital would be exclusively geared towards achieving its mission.

Our Mission

The mission of JUST Capital, an independent nonprofit, is to demonstrate how just business – defined by the priorities of the public – is better business. Our goal is to help companies create value for all their stakeholders – their workers, customers, communities, the environment, and shareholders – by focusing on the issues that matter most to Americans. To date, we’ve polled more than 182,000 Americans on the issues they believe companies should prioritize when it comes to just business behavior, and those insights guide our work. We believe that business and markets can and must be a force for the greater good and that by shifting the resources of the private sector, we can drive competition to build a better future for all. Our research, rankings, indexes, initiatives, and new offerings like the JUST Jobs Scorecard help track, analyze, incentivize, and scale corporate stakeholder performance. JUST Capital publishes the annual list of America’s Most JUST Companies, the JUST 100, in partnership with CNBC.

Our Values in Action

At JUST Capital, we strive to foster an economy and society that works for all. We aim to exemplify these principles within our own organization.

We work to be a responsible employer by:

  • Creating a respectful workplace where all colleagues are treated with dignity
  • Supporting professional development and growth opportunities 
  • Maintaining a workplace free from discrimination and harassment
  • Offering competitive compensation and benefits that enable all colleagues to care for themselves and their families

We stand firmly against violence, cruelty, and discrimination in any form. Our workplace culture emphasizes understanding and mutual respect across all backgrounds, identities, and beliefs.

We remain committed to advancing these values both within our organization and beyond to achieve our mission of realizing a more just society.
