Each year, PwC puts out a list of the Top 100 companies based on market capitalisation. The top slots are routinely filled with the usual suspects, with Apple ranking number one in 2023 - and 2022. Financial prowess is the name of the game.

So, is there more to performance than balance sheets and bottom lines?
In 2023, businesses, more than ever, are defined by their ability to deliver tangible impacts that align with a clear purpose.
