The World’s Most Reputable Companies: A Global Study of Consumers in 41 Countries

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
drivers of global reputation, Leadership and Financial Performance impact over 25% percent of reputation for these multinationals.
■ Having strong and visible leaders associated with companies, such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Larry Page and Sergey Brin helps position them as
visionary companies, but the results show that a high profile leader doesn’t have to be present for a company to make the top 10. BMW, SONY,
Volkswagen, Intel, and Daimler are all in the top 10 without a strong public profile of their leaders.

Improve Reputation by 5 Points and Increase consumer Recommendation by 7.3% and Value with 5%
■ If a company improves its reputation by 5 points, the number of people who would definitely recommend the company goes up by
7.3% and market value increases with 5%. The Global RepTrak™ 100 study validates that a company’s reputation has a direct
impact on the general public’s willingness to recommend and that this relationship is strong around the world.
