To determine the ranking, the magazine evaluated more than 1,200 CEOs across 96 countries. Sixty percent weight was given to each business’s financial returns across the CEO’s entire tenure; and 40 percent weight went to each organization’s environmental, governance, and social issues, as well as market shares, change of market capitalization, and brand’s newsworthiness and impact.
