盤點美國最“正義”的公司
|
新成立的非營利性機構正義資本發布了首份美國最正義企業名單。入圍公司包括微軟、百事可樂、西南航空等公司。 微軟為這個世界做的好事可能要比你想象得更多。百事可樂也是如此。 至少有一家新成立的機構持這么看。它便是由對沖基金大亨保羅·都鐸·瓊斯創辦的正義資本（Just Capital）。本周三，正義資本發布了有史以來第一份“美國正義企業名單”，微軟的名字赫然在列。同樣上榜的還有汽車公司福特、資本管理公司美盛、電子電氣公司惠爾普、酒店連鎖公司萬豪、谷歌母公司Alphabet以及電信公司AT&T等。 《財富》去年率先刊發了一篇關于保羅·都鐸·瓊斯，以及這家致力于推動社會責任投資的人物特寫。 為了實現他的計劃，瓊斯今年年初成立了一家名叫“正義資本”的非營利性機構（這個名字的靈感來自迪巴克·喬布拉在哥倫比亞大學開設的一門課程）。正義資本的使命是研究人們為什么喜歡或不喜歡一家公司，然后編制一份年度名單——這份名單暫時取名為“正義1000”，預計將于2016年秋季面世。瓊斯表示：“我們想在一個從來沒有人發聲的領域里，向美國大眾發出一個聲音。這將是一份透明公正、不帶偏見的名單，它將有助于驅動企業的行為?！? 這份名單是按行業劃分的，排名不分先后。瓊斯在上個月接受采訪時表示，該名單對“正義”企業的認定取決于一系列因素，主要是基于對5.5萬名美國人進行的調查。不過瓊斯也表示，其中最大的因素就是這些企業是否公平對待員工，是否為他們支付了足以養家糊口的薪水。 不過有些人仍然會對名單上的一些企業提出質疑。比如百事公司的產品就由于含糖過多而經常受到批評，百事對“汽水稅”和其他所謂“罪惡稅”的抗拒態度也引起了不少人詬病。而美國電信巨頭AT&T也和許多電話公司和有線公司一樣，經常讓消費者氣不打一處來。正是由于很多人對這家公司怨氣極大，特朗普在大選前為了討好民意，甚至聲稱他在當選后將阻止該公司收購媒體公司時代華納的交易。 以下是正義資本發布的完整名單： 航空與國防：羅克韋爾柯林斯 汽車與零件：福特汽車 銀行：硅谷銀行金融集團 資本品：福陸 資本市場：美盛 化學品：伊士曼化學 商業與專業服務：Verisk Analytics 消費與多樣化金融：美國運通 耐用消費品與服裝：惠爾普 消費服務：萬豪國際 能源設備與服務：國際海洋工程公司 食品與食材零售：西斯科 食品、酒水與煙草：百事 醫療設備與服務：瓦里安醫療系統 醫療供應商與服務：胡瑪娜 家用與個人用品：高露潔 保險：信利集團 互聯網軟件與服務：Alphabet 信息技術服務：埃森哲 機械：康明斯 材料：Freeport-McMoRan 媒體：探索傳播 油氣與消費性燃料：先鋒自然資源 制藥、生物科技與生命科學：安進 房地產：仲量聯行 零售：車美仕 半導體及半導體設備：英偉達 軟件：微軟 科技硬件與設備：F5網絡 電信：AT&T 運輸：西南航空 電力：愛克斯龍 （財富中文網） ? 作者：Stehpen Gandel 譯者：樸成奎 審校：任文科 |
Microsoft has been doing more good for the world than you thought, apparently. So has Pepsi. At least that the conclusion of a new firm that was launched by hedge fund Titan Paul Tudor Jones. On Wednesday, Jones’ new first Just Capital announced its first ever list of the most just companies in America. Microsoft is on the list, as is car company Ford F 0.34% , money management firm Legg Mason LM 2.05% , appliance maker Whirlpool WHR -0.70% , hotel chain Marriott MAR -0.42% , Google owner Alphabet GOOGL -1.72% , and telephone company AT&T T -2.15% . Last year, Fortune was the first to write a profile of Paul Tudor Jones and his new venture into socially responsible investing. To put his plan into action, Jones earlier this year created a nonprofit called Just Capital—inspired by the title of Chopra’s Columbia course. The mission is to research what makes people like or dislike corporations and then to create an annual list—which will debut in the fall of 2016—tentatively called the Just 1000. “We want to give the American public a voice where it’s never had a voice,” says Jones. “It’s going to be crystal clear and unbiased and without prejudice. And it’s going to drive corporate behavior.” The list is by industry and not ranked. In a talk last month, Jones said what companies are considered “just” is based on a number of factors determined by survey of 55,000 America. But Jones says the biggest factor is whether companies treat their employees fairly and pay a living wage. Still, some will question some of the names on the list. Pepsi, for instance, has been critisized for its sugar products, and it’s fight against soda and other so-called sin taxes. AT&T, like many phone and cable companies, are constantly the subject of consumer ire. The backlash against the company is in part what caused Donald Trump when he was a candidate to say that he would block the company’s recently announed deal to buy media company Time Warner. Here’s the complete list: Aerospace & Defense: Rockwell Collins Automobile & Components: Ford Motor Banks: SVB Financial Capital Goods: Fluor Capital Markets: Legg Mason Chemicals: Eastman Chemical Commercial & Professional Services: Verisk Analytics Consumer & Diversified Finance: American Express Consumer Durables & Apparel: Whirlpool Consumer Services: Marriott International Energy Equipment & Services: Oceaneering International Food & Staples Retailing: Sysco Food, Beverage, & Tobacco: PepsiCo Healthcare Equipment & Services: Varian Medical Systems Healthcare Providers & Services: Humana Household & Personal Products: Colgate-Palmolive Insurance: XL Group Internet Software & Services: Alphabet Information Technology Services: Accenture Machinery: Cummins Materials: Freeport-McMoRan Media: Discovery Communications Oil, Gas, & Consumable Fuels: Pioneer Natural Resources Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology & Life Sciences: Amgen Real Estate: Jones Lang LaSalle Retailing: CarMax Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment: NVIDIA Software: Microsoft Technology Hardware & Equipment: F5 Networks Telecommunications: AT&T Transportation: Southwest Airlines Utilities: Exelon |
