To be considered for the 2016 "Change the World" list, please fill out this nomination form by Weds, July 13th.

For more on the companies that made last year's list, watch this interview, in which Fortune Managing Editor Alan Murray and senior representatives from the 2015 “Change the World” companies – MasterCard (#11), Novo Nordisk (#18), Ayala (#29), and CVS (#31) – discussed how purpose and social issues are affecting their core models, their brand power, and growing into new markets.
