JUST Capital

Each year, JUST Capital asks Americans to prioritize what issues matter most when it comes to business behavior. And this year's central message is striking. The 2024 Americans' Views on Business provides executives a clear direction: across political and other demographic lines, executives need to get back to the basics. Focus on issues where stakeholder impact dovetails with business performance like paying #fairwages, investing in your workforce, treating #customers better, offering products or services at a #fairprice, minimizing harm to the environment, strengthening communities, and more. Corporate #leadership is under unprecedented pressure. Performance expectations are sky-high, scrutiny is intense, and the margins for error are basically nonexistent. Our data shows there is a ‘win-win-win’ that's not mere conjecture; it’s a fact.

Today’s corporate leaders face a deeply divided political landscape, rapidly shifting stakeholder demands, ongoing economic uncertainties, and myriad technological, regulatory, and environmental forces that present both risk and opportunity. Against this backdrop, we release the 2024 Americans’ Views on Business Survey that highlights the public's clear direction for corporate leaders: 1️⃣ The majority of Americans – regardless of political party, ideology, or other demographic differences – are generally united in their expectations for corporations, particularly in areas where positive societal impact dovetails with positive business performance: paying people fairly, investing in their workforce, treating customers better, offering products or services at a fair price, minimizing harm to the environment, strengthening communities, and even making good on climate commitments. 2️⃣ Whereas in previous years we saw greater demand for CEOs to speak out on social issues, opinion is now much more divided overall. When looking at political ideology spits, we see the percent of Americans on both sides of the aisle who believe CEOs should speak out only on issues related to their business grow between 2021 and 2024. 3️⃣ In today’s low-trust environment, the American public is looking for more information on what companies are actually doing, not what they say they are doing. The leaders who create value for all their stakeholders, also create more value for their shareholders, for themselves, and for society at large. Our data shows this ‘win-win-win’ is not mere conjecture; it’s a fact.
