Let's relate the Engaged Company Stock Index to the traditional stock market. The stock market is a vital data source to measure the business performance of a company. When you're looking to invest in a company, the stock market provides a record of its overall performance, which is key to making an informed investment decision.

The Engaged Company Stock Index works in a very similar manner, but focuses not on a retrospective basis, but on an ongoing basis. Currently, there are 45 organizations listed on the Engaged Company Stock Index, all who showcase a high level of engagement with their customers, clients, and community.
