Reputation Institute Announces Top Global Companies for Public Perception of Corporate Social Responsibility

Industry leaders in Global CSR RepTrak® 100 include Google, BMW, Disney, and Microsoft

Reputation Institute today released the Global CSR RepTrak® 100, which highlights the companies that have the best reputations for corporate social responsibility (CSR) among the general public in 15 countries. Google tops the ranking for the second year in a row, with a significant lead over all other companies in the ranking.

“Corporate social responsibility is one of the most complex areas of a company’s public identity,” said Brad Hecht, chief research officer at Reputation Institute. “The companies in the Global CSR RepTrak® 100 are succeeding not only at being good corporate citizens, but in communicating those characteristics to consumers who increasingly rely on a brand’s reputation in making purchasing decisions and recommending products and services to others.”

The Global CSR RepTrak® 100 reflects public perceptions of corporate performance across three dimensions of reputation: citizenship, workplace, and governance. The results describe which companies are best regarded by consumers for having a positive societal influence, being environmentally friendly, operating with openness and transparency, behaving ethically, rewarding employees fairly and promoting employee well-being, among other factors.

Companies with the top ten CSR reputations globally are below:

  1. Google

  2. BMW

  3. The Walt Disney Company

  4. Microsoft

  5. Daimler

  6. LEGO

  7. Apple

  8. Intel

  9. Rolls-Royce Aerospace

  10. Rolex

The full top 100 list can be found online at http://www.reputationinstitute.com/research/CSR-RepTrak.

The list of companies with the best global CSR reputations is derived from the data collected for the 2015 Global RepTrak® 100 study, and based on more than 60,000 interviews with consumers in the 15 largest economies in Europe, Latin America, North America and the Asia Pacific region.

The RepTrak® model is the gold standard for reputation measurement, providing a one-of-a-kind measurement of how the public views the world’s best-known companies, examining 15 stakeholder groups in more than 25 industries and more than 50 countries for more than 7,000 companies.
