Humankind Investments has released its 2025 "Humankind 100" ranking, which identifies the top 100 U.S. public companies that contribute the most value to humanity. The ranking, compiled annually by the research team at Humankind Investments, is based on the proprietary Humankind Value methodology [2].Alphabet Inc. topped the list, primarily due to its free online services that benefit billions of users worldwide. Other notable companies in the top 10 include Eli Lilly & Co., Johnson & Johnson, and AbbVie Inc. [2].
The Humankind Value methodology evaluates companies based on four components: Investor Value, Consumer Value, Employee Value, and Societal Value. These components are used to estimate the overall economic value a company creates for investors, consumers, employees, and society at large [2].
For instance, Alphabet's free online services, such as Google Search, Google Maps, and YouTube, contribute significantly to Consumer Value by providing access to information and entertainment. Eli Lilly & Co., Johnson & Johnson, and AbbVie Inc. are recognized for their contributions to Societal Value through their roles in healthcare, particularly in developing life-saving medications and providing essential medical services [2].
The 2025 "Humankind 100" ranking reflects a comprehensive analysis of how companies impact humanity, considering both positive and negative contributions. This ranking serves as a valuable resource for investors and financial professionals seeking to understand the broader societal impact of their investment decisions [2].
