Measured on financial returns alone, Isla comes 29th in the ranking. But Inditex’s strong ESG performance, which makes up 20 per cent of each CEO’s ranking, vaults him to the top slot. Amazon CEO Jeffrey Bezos ranks 68th on this year’s list. Only six CEOs have appeared on the list every year since 2013: Jeffrey Bezos of Amazon; Pablo Isla of Inditex; Blake Nordstrom of Nordstrom; Paolo Rocca of Tenaris; James Taiclet Jr. of American Tower; and Renato Alves Vale of CCR.
