“We’re honoured to be named one of America’s Most Just Companies and to rank as the No.1 company in our industry on this year’s list,” said Kathrin Belliveau, EVP & chief purpose officer, Hasbro. “As we embark on the company’s 100th anniversary this year, Hasbro’s belief in doing well by doing good is stronger than ever. By creating joy and community around the world, we aspire to leave the world a better place than we found it.”

Hasbro was also ranked in the top 115 overall among more than 950 of the largest US-based corporations.

“There has never been a more important time for businesses to step up, do right by their workers, and restore trust in capitalism and the American Dream,” said Just Capital CEO Martin Whittaker. “This year’s Just leaders demonstrate that just business truly is better business.”
