40 healthcare companies named to Fortune's 2020 'World's Most Admired Companies'

Fortune has finalized its 2020 list of "World's Most Admired Companies."

For the list, Fortune collaborated with global management consulting firm Korn Ferry. The two began with about 1,500 candidates: the 1,000 largest U.S. companies ranked by revenue, along with non-U.S. companies in Fortune’s Global 500 database with revenues of $10 billion or more. Fortune and Korn Ferry then narrowed the pool of companies to the highest-revenue companies in each industry for a total of 680 in 30 countries. The top-rated companies were chosen from among the 680.

The following healthcare companies were ranked among the 50 All-Stars within Fortune's list. 

No. 26: Johnson and Johnson

No. 38: CVS Health 

No. 49: Merck

As part of the list, Korn Ferry asked executives, directors and analysts to rate enterprises in their own industry based on investment value, quality of management and products, social responsibility, ability to attract talent and five other criteria. The companies must rank in the top half of their industry survey to make the list.
