(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) 2024 ranking comprises 1,000 companies including Samsung, Nintendo, and Kroger
NEW YORK, Sept. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Newsweek, the modern global digital news organization, in partnership with Statista , announced its annual World's Most Trustworthy Companies rankings today. This is Newsweek's second annual World's Most Trustworthy Companies rankings, which aims to help individuals find companies they can rely on, whether they're shopping, looking for a job, or hoping to invest.
World's Most Trustworthy Companies recognizes firms across 23 industries from 20 different countries. The ranking process involved three key steps: first, identifying all publicly traded companies headquartered in the target countries with annual revenues exceeding $500 million; second, conducting an extensive survey of over 70,000 participants who evaluated companies based on investor, customer, and employee trust, resulting in 230,000 company evaluations; and third, performing a social listening analysis to assess the sentiment of over 995,000 online mentions.
Companies were also reviewed for recent scandals or litigations that could negatively impact their trust image. The final score was calculated using a weighted formula: 40% for customer trust, 40% for investor trust, and 20% for employee trust, with a minor consideration of the previous year's score. The top 1,000 companies were ultimately selected based on these comprehensive criteria.
"Trust is the cornerstone of any successful business, and our 2024 World's Most Trustworthy Companies rankings highlight the organizations that have earned the confidence of their customers, investors, and the broader public," said Josh Smith, Newsweek's Director of Growth and Strategic Partnerships. "These companies have set a benchmark for ethical business practices and have shown that prioritizing transparency and responsibility leads to lasting success."
