JLens Announces “Most Kosher” US Companies
JLens has
released the 2019 list of the 18 “Most Kosher” US
Companies.
Four years ago, JLens created the Jewish
Advocacy Strategy to
invest in the 300 largest and most influential US public corporations
in order to conduct investor advocacy on behalf of the Jewish
community.
JLens considered using standardized ESG
(environment, social, governance) research to guide the investment
strategy. However, a thorough review of ESG research providers
revealed an unexpected and significant gap in values alignment with
Jewish communal concerns.
As a result, JLens developed
an in-house methodology to score and rank companies through a Jewish
lens. JLens uses six core Jewish values to evaluate and engage
companies in long-term investor advocacy. Through robust data
collection, in-depth research, and direct engagement, JLens has
identified 18 large US corporations that represent excellence and
outperform sector peers on a wide array of environmental and social
issues through a Jewish lens.
