2024 Global 2000 List

This year is the 21st anniversary of the Global 2000, the comprehensive examination of the world’s largest publicly traded companies. The 2024 Global 2000 list was released on June 6, 2024.

The compilation of the Global 2000 list follows the same methodology employed since 2003. The list leverages 3rd party data sets to identify the largest public companies based on four key metrics: sales, profits, assets, and market value. Market value calculations reflect closing prices as of May 5, 2024, encompassing all outstanding common shares.

All figures are consolidated and denominated in U.S. dollars. The financial data used for the rankings corresponds to the latest 12-month period available as of May 5, 2024. The G2000 list relies extensively on databases for data sourcing, considering the timeliness of data collection, company reporting policies, country-specific reporting guidelines, and the time lag between data release and database inclusion. The data is quality checked by cross-referencing with other data sources and also by reviewing available company financial statements.

To begin, four separate lists are generated consisting of the 2000 largest companies in each metric: sales, profits, assets, and market value. To qualify for the final Global 2000 ranking, a company must meet a minimum cutoff value on at least one of these lists: sales ($5.9 billion), profits ($423 million), assets ($13.8 billion), or market value ($6.3 billion).

This year, 3,550 companies were required to fill the four lists, with each company qualifying for at least one. Each company receives a score for each metric based on its position in the respective list. The scores are aggregated for all four metrics (equally weighted) to compile a composite score that determines a company’s rank. The ranking is then established by sorting the companies in descending order based on their composite scores.

The Global 2000 list excludes publicly traded subsidiaries that are consolidated by their parent company. In most countries, consolidation occurs when the parent company’s ownership (control) of the subsidiary’s stock exceeds 50%. However, some accounting rules permit consolidation with less than 50% ownership.
