The 100 Best Beat the S&P 500

Does Sustainability Disclosure Pay Off? A New Study Finds Companies Are Leaving Money On the Table.
Companies leading in sustainability disclosure are beating the market. New research from 3BL reveals:
- The 2024 100 Best Corporate Citizens outperformed the S&P 500 by 4.22% over the past two years
- These sustainability leaders saw a 29.97% cumulative return from January 2022 to September 2024
But here’s the twist: Despite financial success, many of these companies struggle to communicate their sustainability efforts effectively to consumers.
3BL’s latest report dives deep into this paradox and provides strategies to translate sustainability leadership into consumer preference.
