HARTFORD, Conn., Feb. 3, 2025 – The Hartford was named to the 2025 JUST 100 list by JUST Capital and CNBC. This marks the seventh consecutive year that The Hartford has been included on the list. Overall, The Hartford ranked No. 25 on the list, which honors companies’ commitments to serving employees, customers, communities, the environment, and shareholders.
"We are deeply honored to be recognized again this year on America’s Most JUST companies list,” said Claire Burns, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer for The Hartford. “We believe that sustainable business practices and operating with integrity, which we have embraced for more than 200 years, are the cornerstones for delivering value to all our stakeholders. The Hartford is committed to prioritizing the wellbeing of our employees, customers, shareholders, and the communities where we live and work.”

“Performance expectations for business leaders today are sky high. The JUST 100 demonstrates how companies can create value for their investors, their key stakeholders, and America more broadly by focusing on core business operations,” says JUST Capital CEO Martin Whittaker. “At the end of the day, it doesn’t have to be that complicated. It’s just business.”
Each year, JUST Capital begins by polling the American public on a fully representative basis on their priorities for business behavior. It then evaluates how the largest corporations in the country perform against those criteria. Leading companies are recognized for their performance on top priority issues such as: paying fair, living wages; supporting worker well-being, career advancement, training, and work-life balance; communicating transparently; strengthening communities; ethical leadership; and treating customers fairly.
The Hartford’s deep commitment to sustainability is rooted in a proud legacy and lives at the core of our long-term business strategy as outlined in the most recent Sustainability Report.
