With recent disruption in the stock market, and last month’s letter from BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, JUST Director of Indexes and Analytics Hernando Cortina asks whether ESG could be the New Investor Imperative. There hasn’t been a yardstick for corporations to use in measuring where they stand, but JUST Capital’s new Index (the JULCD) could help to change the game. Read more here!

In 2018, putting employees first should be top priority for companies. Entrepreneur reports on JUST Capital’s 2017 Survey and asks: what steps can leaders take to adopt a worker-first mentality? Create unity through caring. Fuel employee growth for the long term. Put people before profits. Infuse wellness into the workday. These steps are essential for companies to create a better workplace for employees, and better align themselves with the priorities of the American public.

In their New Year’s Resolution for CEOs, BSR reports on JUST Capital’s Rankings and America’s Most JUST Companies. They propose three steps that companies can take in 2018 to treat workers well and provide good jobs – according to our surveys, two key priorities for the American public. First – align company values, commitments, and actions across functions. Second – factor job quality into company strategy and financial valuations. And third – be transparent about and report on workforce issues. Looking forward to 2018 and like BSR, hope to see companies take action on these critical issues and help to form a more just marketplace.
According to BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, in 2018, companies must ask themselves questions like: How are we managing our impact on the environment? Are we working to create a diverse workforce? Are we adapting to technological change? We couldn’t agree more and will be continuing to track corporations on these questions, which matter greatly not only to investment giants like BlackRock, but as our polling shows, to the American public.

2017 may be behind us, and with it the passage of the GOP tax bill, but the real impact on the economy lies ahead. JUST Capital CEO Martin Whittaker talks with USA TODAY about the initial actions of Wells Fargo, Fifth Third Bank, and AT&T who announced minimum wage increases and bonus payments for employees. While these efforts are commendable, they “represent only a tiny fraction of the vast amounts of cash sitting on companies balance sheets, which will only grow from the tax windfall.” As the year unfolds, we’ll be tracking how companies respond to their coming gains, and whether their employees will receive a meaningful piece of the pie.
