Study Scope

The Global RepTrak™ 100 study was conducted online

in all 15 countries among the general public . Each

respondent rated a maximum of five randomly assigned

companies from the list with which they were familiar.

Over 165,000 reputation ratings were obtained in this

study, and each company received an average of 100

ratings across the 15 countries. Reputation Institute's

RepTrak™ methodology results in all scores range from

0-100 which are comparable across industries,

countries, and over time.

Questionnaire

Using a deeply researched and tested instrument The

Global RepTrak™ Pulse questionnaire is a 15 minute

online survey that invites respondents to describe their

perceptions of companies. Through rigorous statistical

analysis, Reputation Institute connects the Reputation 7

Dimensions with the RepTrak™ Pulse scores as well as

with a measure of overall public support.

The Results

In interpreting the Global RepTrak™ 100 ranking, all

Global RepTrak™ Pulse scores that differ by more than

+/-0.8 are significantly different at the 95% confidence

level.

In additional, this study illuminates not only who has

higher and lower Reputation but also (1) drivers of

corporate reputation, which can help companies start to

understand how to manage their reputation moving

forward, and (2) components that drive company

support, which can help companies impact future

behavior and bottom line.

If you would like to learn more about the RepTrak™

Pulse measure, please see the 2011 Spring issue of the

peer reviewed journal, Corporate Reputation Review.

The Global RepTrak™ 100 Study Measures

Corporate Reputations Worldwide

Reputation Institute conducts the only truly global study

designed to identify and asses the best corporate

reputations around the world. In April of 2011, more

than 165,000 ratings were collected from about 48,000

global consumers invited to measure 100 finalists of

the World’s Most Reputable Companies across 15

markets.

The purpose of this study was to create an index of

global companies that were both well regarded in

terms of reputation in their home markets, as well as

successful in managing their reputations around the

world, given their global footprint. This study provides

an assessment of the global reputation landscape—the

companies that are most trusted, respected and

admired by the public across 15 markets.

Defining Reputation

Research by Reputation Institute since 1999 shows

that strong reputations are based on four key concepts:

Admiration, Trust, Good Feelings and Overall Esteem.

Companies Rated

Reputation Institute identified a set of companies who

qualified as candidates for inclusion in the study ―The

Global RepTrak™ 100 study.‖ To be included these

companies had to meet specific criteria which make

them viable candidates for inclusion in the study.

These criteria included: 1) Annual revenue, 2) Above

average home country reputation derived from

Reputation Institute’s global database, 3) Multinational

presence, and 4) High familiarity with consumers in the

measured 15 markets.

The RepTrak™ Pulse Model

The RepTrak™ Pulse Model measures the

admiration, trust, and good feeling that stakeholders

have towards a company. The RepTrak™ Pulse is

the beating heart of a company’s reputation

providing an overall assessment of the health of a

company’s reputation.

Reputation Institute’s research indicates that a

reputation is built on seven dimensions from which a

company can create a strategic platform for

communicating and engaging with its stakeholders.

The RepTrak™ Pulse Model consists of seven

dimensions that were found from qualitative and

quantitative research to best explain the reputation

of a company.

In The Global RepTrak™ 100 study, Reputation

Institute measures not only perceptions of

companies on the core RepTrak™ Pulse attributes

but also asked respondents to rate the companies

on the seven key dimensions.

Reputation is Driven by Seven Dimensions – RepTrakTM Pulse Measures Them

For each company in the study, perception measures are taken of each of the factors in the model – we measure respondents’ trust,

admiration, esteem and good feeling to form a single average score across 15 countries

(The Global RepTrak™ Pulse), which is the dependent variable used in our driver analysis. When the full set of 100 companies’

dimension ratings are statistically analyzed against this score, we find that to earn a strong reputation, companies need to address

all seven dimensions of reputation.

Each of the Seven Dimensions of the

RepTrak™ Model Drive Corporate Reputation

Reputation is based on trust, respect, good feeling, and overall esteem

and to have a strong reputation you need to ensure stakeholder trust.

Research has shown that 7 dimensions impact the emotional connection

that stakeholders have towards companies.

Products/Services, Governance, and Citizenship are Key Drivers

The most influential dimension on reputation is Products/Services,

followed by Governance and Citizenship. If companies can make the

general public perceive them well on these dimensions then overall

reputation and support will improve. If companies do not perform well in

these areas, stakeholder support will suffer.

A Broad Reputation Platform is needed to win

The results from across the 15 largest markets show that all 7

dimensions drive reputation and no single dimension holds more than

19%. This calls for a reputation platform that uses all 7 dimensions of

reputation.

Three overall categories stand out:

■ Product & Services and Innovation make up 32%

■ Citizenship, Governance, and Workplace determine 43%

■ Financial Performance and Leadership make up the last 25%

Product/Services: 'Company' offers high quality products and services -- it offers excellent products and reliable services

Innovation: 'Company' is an innovative company -- it makes or sells innovative products or innovates in the way it does business

Workplace: 'Company' is an appealing place to work -- it treats its employees well

Governance: 'Company' is a responsibly-run company -- it behaves ethically and is open & transparent in its business dealings

Citizenship: 'Company' is a good corporate citizen -- it supports good causes & protects the environment

Leadership: 'Company' is a company with strong leadership -- it has visible leaders & is managed effectively

Performance: 'Company' is a high-performance company -- it delivers good financial results

Companies with high potential to increase support

internationally by exporting its reputation

■ Companies tend to have a stronger home country

reputation. On average the home country reputation is

+5 points higher than the global reputation across 15

markets.

■ This underlines the challenge many companies face when

trying to expand their business to international markets.

Building trust and support from consumers in foreign

markets is a challenge.

■ The Top 25 companies are showing the way having only a

gap of +2.73 points indicating a stronger balance between

their home country and global reputation. The Bottom 25

companies have an average gap of +7.80 points.

■ The companies listed to the left all have a strong to

excellent reputation in their home country but heir

reputation is not on par globally. These companies have

huge potential for global growth if they can find a ways to

export their strong home market reputation where people

know and respect them more to external markets abroad.

Google Leads Global Rankings in Workplace, Governance, and Citizenship

■ Google leads global public perceptions across 15 markets in the dimensions of Workplace, Governance, and Citizenship. The corporate social

responsibility dimensions account for 43% of reputation with the global general public. Maintaining strong perceptions in these three dimensions will

have a major impact on overall corporate reputation and consumer support.

■ In terms of Governance, companies have difficulty differentiating themselves in the minds of the global public—only three points separate the top

scoring company, Google (74.42), and the 10th ranked company, Intel (71.36). Perceptions of corporate Citizenship are lower with the global public

than other dimensions. The 10th place in Citizenship, Volkswagen scores a 69.53, indicating an overall lack of confidence in the Citizenship of

multinational corporations.

Microsoft and Apple take the Top Spots in Leadership and Financial Performance

■ Apple narrowly leads rival Microsoft and fellow tech giant Google in both Leadership and Performance with global consumers. When looking at the
