Philippines – Jollibee Group continues to strengthen its global standing after being included in TIME Magazine’s prestigious “World’s Best Companies” list for two consecutive years.
“We are incredibly honored to be recognized once again on TIME’s World’s Best Companies List.

Together, we will continue to work with passion and purpose to bring the joy of eating to everyone. We also share this recognition with our franchisees and partners who have supported us through the years.”
Key dimensions of the ranking
According to the global data and business intelligence platform Statista, companies were assessed based on three key dimensions, namely employee satisfaction, revenue growth, and sustainability transparency or Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG). The scores of all three dimensions were added on an equal percentage basis to form the final ranking score of a maximum of 100 points. The 1,000 companies with the highest score were awarded as the World’s Best Companies of 2024.
The Jollibee Group received a score of 84.81 or “very high” mark for revenue growth. The Company’s net income rose 16% to PHP8.8 billion in 2023, while total revenues marked a 15.2% increase to PHP244.1 billion. Its systemwide sales hit PHP343.32 billion, an all-time high record with a 16.3% increase.
The Jollibee Group’s strengthened People Agenda was key to its record business performance, which was characterized by back-to-back best-ever years in 2022 and 2023. The Company remains committed to fostering a workplace that prioritizes not only employee satisfaction and safety but also their development and well-being. Through its dedicated People Agenda, the Company ensures engagement at multiple levels, from personal to people around them and to the company and community.
In 2023, the Jollibee Group launched its global sustainability agenda, Joy for Tomorrow, anchored on three key pillars: Food, People, and Planet. Under the People pillar, Employee Welfare stands as a key priority, with a focus on enhancing lives through initiatives such as Learning & Development, Employee Engagement, and Diversity & Inclusion. These efforts are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), underscoring the Group’s broader mission to create positive and lasting change.
Earlier this year, the Jollibee Group earned the Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award for the third time, recognizing its high employee engagement and strong corporate culture. Notably, the Jollibee Group remains the only Philippine-based company to receive this prestigious distinction.
