companies with over $4.5 trillion in annual revenues and more
than 10 million employees. Member companies comprise nearly
a third of the total value of the U.S. stock market and represent
nearly a third of all corporate income taxes paid to the federal
government. Collectively, they returned more than $110 billion

Roundtable companies give more than $7 billion a year
in combined charitable contributions, representing nearly
60 percent of total corporate giving. They are technology
innovation leaders, with $86 billion in annual research and
development spending - nearly half of the total private R&D
spending in the U.S.
