【最佳公司】全球最佳公司2023：僅1間香港企業上榜
全球經濟環境早已轉變，不再是以製造和消費品公司為主。科技和商業服務公司引領著全球經濟新秩序，雖然不少科技公司經歷了一段艱難的時期，但他們仍在投資、員工以及環保方面表現出色。
《時代》雜誌與統計資料公司 Statista 合作進行調查，綜合考慮員工滿意度、環境、社會和公司治理（ESG 或可持續發展）數據，針對全球 750 家企業進行深入評估。根據 2023 全球最佳公司（World’s Best Companies 2023），微軟、蘋果、Alphabet (Google母公司) 和Meta Platforms位列750大全球最佳公司中前四名。
至於香港方面，怡和洋行（Jardine Matheson）是唯一入榜的香港企業。其總排名為665，總分數為77.46，可持續發展排名為705，員工滿意度排名為384。
排名之首的微軟在最近的財年中，營收高達 720 億美元，相較於 2020 年增長 63%。此外，他們成功降低了碳排放量 0.5%。值得一提的是，微軟公司中的少數族裔和女性員工的平均薪資，竟然超越了男性同事。而來自都柏林的 Accenture 在這份名單上的ESG排名位居首位，該公司已承諾到2025年達到淨零排放，且自2019年以來大幅減少了其排放。
The economic landscape of 2023 has already changed, no longer dominated by manufacturing and consumer goods companies. Tech and business service companies now lead the new global economic order. However, many tech companies have gone through tough times. Despite that, they continue to excel in investments, employee satisfaction, and environmental conservation.
TIME Magazine, in partnership with statistics firm Statista, took into consideration employee satisfaction, environmental, social, and corporate governance (or ESG and sustainability) data to deeply evaluate and rank the top 750 companies globally. According to the World’s Best Companies 2023, Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet (Google's parent company), and Meta Platforms are the top four out of the 750 best global companies.
As for Hong Kong, Jardine Matheson is the only company from the city to be featured on the list. It ranks 665th overall with a score of 77.46, its sustainability ranking is 705, and its employee satisfaction ranking is 384.
Leading the ranks, Microsoft reported an astonishing revenue of 72 billion USD in the recent financial year, which is a 63% increase compared to 2020. Moreover, they successfully reduced their carbon emissions by 0.5%. Notably, the average salaries of minority and female employees at Microsoft have surpassed their male counterparts. Furthermore, Dublin-based Accenture tops the list for ESG ranking. The company has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2025 and has significantly reduced its emissions since 2019.
