DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Jacobs
Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) has been named in the inaugural Forbes Just
100, a list of America’s best corporate citizens. Jacobs was ranked
as one of the most just companies in the Capital Goods category.
The list ranks large publicly-traded companies against the expectations
of American employees on several drivers
of justness, including pay and benefits, worker treatment,
leadership and ethics, environmental impact and others.
“At Jacobs we are committed to keeping our company strong and our people
engaged; we work everyday to improve and build on these values,” said
Jacobs Chairman and CEO Steve Demetriou. “We’re very proud to receive
recognition from Forbes as one of America’s best corporate citizens and
we will strive to continue to make Jacobs a great place to work.”
According to Forbes, this is the first time America’s top companies have
been ranked according to the most important issues facing American
employees. The list was compiled through a survey of approximately
50,000 Americans over the last 18 months using focus groups, interviews,
polling and analysis of attitudes and perceptions.
To complete the survey research, Forbes collaborated with JUST Capital,
an independent nonprofit organization based in New York City, and NORC,
an Independent Research Organization at the University of Chicago. JUST
Capital provides continual data, information and rankings on how large
corporations stack up against the American employee’s definition of just
business behaviors.
The complete list of the just companies can be found at www.forbes.com/just100
and will be featured in Forbes Magazine’s December 20, 2016 issue.
