Time partnered with Statista to launch the list, which highlights 500 companies that address high-priority global challenges as part of their core business. The methodology weighs companies’ alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and draws on net-impact data from the Upright Project, sourced from scientific literature and public databases, including the World Bank and the World Health Organization.
