FORTUNE has revealed the fourth annual Change the World list of companies that are doing well by doing good.
This year’s list includes Reliance Jio, a company that connects tens of millions of Indians to the economic opportunities of the Internet at rock-bottom prices, Merck, which introduced a potent weapon in the war against Ebola, and Bank of America, for underwriting big innovation in green banking, in the top three spots.
“For the fourth straight year, with the help of our partners at the Shared Value Initiative, we’ve identified dozens of companies that are tackling public health, environmental, economic, or other societal challenges as part of their everyday operations,” said FORTUNE.
FORTUNE adds that the list, importantly, isn’t about the charity companies give—and, no, “we’re not weighing corporations on some omniscient scale of good and bad. Fortune’s Change the World list, rather, is about solving problems through the only sustainable and scalable problem-solving machine we know of business.”
Top 10 Companies on the Change the World list according to Fortune are:
- Reliance Jio
- Merck
- Bank of America
- Inditex
- Alibaba Group
- Kroger
- Xylem
- ABB
- Weight Watchers
- Hughes Network Systems
