How to read the scores

The 0–100 scale — five bands

Every entity — state, corporation, AI lab, robotics lab, or city — is scored 0–100 across 8 dimensions and 40 subdimensions. The composite score places the entity in one of five bands:

Critical0–20Foundational compassion practices are absent or documented active harm is present.
Developing20–40Some practices are emerging but remain inconsistent, reactive, or unevenly applied.
Functional40–60Core practices exist and meet a basic bar, with significant gaps remaining.
Established60–80Practices are systematic, documented, and supported by consistent evidence.
Exemplary80–100Practices are independently verified, consistent, and sustained under pressure.

The 8 dimensions

Each dimension is scored 1–5 across 5 subdimensions (40 subdimensions total), then converted to a 0–100 composite. A score of 1.0 on a subdimension represents the minimum anchor; 5.0 is exemplary conduct.

AWRAwarenessDoes this entity reliably detect when others are in pain or need — before they name it?
EMPEmpathyDoes this entity genuinely connect with the inner experience of those it serves?
ACTActionDoes compassionate understanding translate into real, proportional, effective help?
EQUEquityIs care distributed fairly — especially toward those with greatest need and least power?
BNDBoundariesIs helping sustainable, ethical, and autonomy-preserving — not dependency-creating?
ACCAccountabilityDoes this entity own its failures, correct course, and make genuine repair?
SYSSystemic ThinkingDoes compassion extend to root causes and structural change — not only symptom relief?
INTIntegrityIs compassion genuine, consistent, and non-performative — especially when it costs something?

Scores are based on public evidence — government reports, regulatory filings, independent audits, judicial findings, and verifiable third-party records. Entities never pay for inclusion, score changes, or suppression of findings. Full methodology

Key findings

Equity is the weakest dimension

With an average score of 2.25, Equity consistently lags behind other dimensions across the Fortune 500. This suggests most large corporations have not yet built systems that distribute care, access, or protection equitably across stakeholders.

Finance leads by sector

Financial services companies disproportionately appear in the upper ranks, driven by stronger governance, compliance infrastructure, and public accountability mechanisms.

The developing band is the largest

164 companies — nearly 37% of the index — fall in the Developing band. This means the majority of large corporations show fragmented rather than systemic compassion.

Frequently asked questions

How many Fortune 500 companies are scored?
The Compassion Benchmark Fortune 500 Index scores 448 companies across 8 dimensions of institutional compassion.
How is the compassion score calculated?
The score is a composite across 8 dimensions (Awareness, Empathy, Action, Equity, Boundaries, Accountability, Systemic Impact, and Integrity), each scored 0–5 from behavioral evidence, then converted to a 0–100 scale with an integration premium for balanced profiles. See compassionbenchmark.com/methodology for the full framework.
Who runs the Compassion Benchmark, and can a Fortune 500 company pay for a better score?
The Compassion Benchmark is an independent benchmark institution. No company can pay for inclusion, a higher score, or the suppression of findings — every Fortune 500 company in this index is scored from public evidence, not by application.
