TIME and Statista identified America’s Best Companies 2026 based on three primary dimensions:

• Employee Satisfaction – Based on survey data from ~217,000 verified employees at U.S. companies over the past three years, covering company recommendations and employer ratings across image, atmosphere, working conditions, salary, workplace, and equality.
• Financial Performance – Drawn from Statista's revenue database (last five years). Companies needed at least US $100 million in revenue in 2025. Performance was assessed on multiple metrics: short-term (2023–2025) and long-term (2021–2025) revenue growth (relative and absolute), changes in net income, asset growth, and the evolution of return on assets (ROA).
• Sustainability Transparency – Based on an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) index from Statista's ESG Database and additional research, covering:

1. Environmental: 2024 carbon emissions intensity, reduction rate vs. 2022, and Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) score
2. Social: share of women on the board and existence of a human rights policy
3. Governance: presence of a Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) aligned Corporate Responsibility Report and a compliance/anti-corruption policy
