Newsweek: America's most trustworthy companies 2022
Newsweek and Statista present their first annual ranking of America's Most Trustworthy Companies. They looked at publicly traded U.S. corporations in 22 industries with $500 million or more in annual revenues and then surveyed 50,000 U.S. residents. Respondents were asked about companies they knew well and were, asked among other things, if they believed individual companies treated their customers fairly, treated their employees fairly and would be good long-term investments. The result is a list of 400 companies Americans trust the most, ranked by industry.
The healthcare and life sciences list included at least one name most Americans had never heard of until the last two years: COVID-19 vaccine maker Moderna. The healthcare and life sciences list included 21 companies.

The shift to 24/7 supply chains in the U.S.
Supply Chain Dive is tracking the shift to 24/7 supply chain operations for public and private sectors across the country. Import surges throughout the pandemic unveiled the problems and challenges at a structural level that businesses have faced transporting products into and across the United States for years. At several points throughout the pandemic, there have been more than 100 cargo ships waiting to dock in the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
According to Supply Chain Dive, ports have attempted to engage with dozens of stakeholders to try to improve operations, which have resulted “in a series of commitments from the private sector and regulatory tweaks.” The timeline starts in September 2021, when the Port of Long Beach announced it was aiming to maximize the nighttime operations and expand “the hours during which trucks can pick up and return containers.” In the same month, the Port of Los Angeles expanded weekend operating gate hours to help meet demand, provide transparency, and improve efficiency.
The most recent update to the timeline was March 15, when the White House announced plans to launch a supply chain data-sharing portal to be to improve cargo velocity.
