To create this list, FORTUNE Magazine and Korn Ferry start with about 1,500 candidates the 1,000 largest U.S. companies ranked by revenue, along with non-U.S. companies in FORTUNE's Global 500 database that have revenues of $10 billion or more. They then whittle down the assortment to the highest-revenue companies in each industry, a total of 680 in 30 countries. The 331 top-rated companies were picked from that pool of 680 to create the final list. In addition to its category ranking, Edward Jones ranked No. 177 overall out of the 331 companies on the list.
