Fortune's Change the World list recognizes companies that have had a positive social impact through activities that are part of their core business strategy. We prioritize companies with annual revenues of $1 billion or more. Fortune writers and editors, with help from Shared Value Initiative, evaluate the companies by these four factors:
1. Measurable social impact: We consider the reach, nature, and durability of the company's impact on one or more specific societal problems. This category receives particularly close attention.
2. Business results: We consider the benefit the socially impactful work brings to the company. Profitability and contribution to shareholder value outweigh benefits to the company's reputation.
3. Degree of innovation: We consider how innovative the company's effort is relative to that of others in its industry and whether other companies have followed its example.
4. Corporate Integration: We consider how integral the initiative is to a company's overall strategy, and how well that strategy is communicated through the ranks and elsewhere.
Please describe the nominated initiative in those terms using the form below. Please keep your responses to individual questions to 500 words or less. The deadline for submissions is 11:59pm on Friday, July 29, 2022. Please send any questions, using the subject line “CHANGE THE WORLD QUERY” to
changetheworld@fortune.com. (Nominations that have been submitted to Shared Value Initiative do not need to be resubmitted here.)
