The "World's Best Companies 2024" ranking is the result of a comprehensive analysis that identifies the top-performing companies worldwide. The study evaluates companies across three primary dimensions: Employee Satisfaction, Revenue Growth, and Sustainability.
Employee satisfaction was assessed through surveys conducted in over 50 countries, with data from approximately 170,000 participants. Revenue growth was measured for companies with revenues of at least $100 million in 2023, reflecting positive growth from 2021 to 2023. Sustainability evaluations were based on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) data from Statista's ESG Database and targeted research, ensuring a comprehensive and rigorous evaluation process.
