JUST organization

Organizations that espouse fair, equitable and just treatment toward their workforce help create a culture of lower stress and greater employee satisfaction, as well as a heightened sense of loyalty. By transparently sharing their policies and investments decisions, organizations not only allow employees, clients and patrons to determine if their personal values are shared by the organization, but also provide them the opportunity to voice their opinion about the organization's social equity practices.

This feature uses JUST participation to support fair and equitable organizations.
