How these are counted
- We read each company's own site and quote the line each answer comes from. The quote and its link are on the company's page.
- A company counts once we have read its saved pages and recorded something from them: 82 of 87 so far.
- "Not stated" means the pages we saved from their site (home, about, privacy, contact, careers, news) don't say. It is not a mark against them, and an investor page is seldom among those we saved.
- Every figure is read again each week. A company that changes its answer moves on the next count.
- Something wrong? Tell us the page where it says so, and the next count reads it.
