Of the 600 largest companies in the 27 measured countries, rankings of the 200 best rated companies have been provided in the report. All earned Global Pulse scores significantly above the global mean of 64.2. Toyota Motor earned the highest rating with an outstanding Global Pulse score of 86.53. Google comes in a close 2nd with a Global Pulse score of 85.23, followed by the consumer friendly Swedish retailer Ikea, and Italy's chocolate-maker Ferrero. The US pharma and consumer products giant Johnson & Johnson rounds out the world's top 5 with a Global Pulse of 83.48.
Toyota Motor stands out as the only automaker in the top tier, and is followed by Sweden's Volvo Bilarin at the 30th spot, leaving BMW and Daimler a distant 80th and 96th respectively. The world's top 10 is heavily dominated by food-related companies, including Ferrero, Kraft Foods, GrupoBimbo, and Migros. The 20 companies in the top tier in 2008 (those with Global Pulse scores above 80) represent 13 of the 27 countries included in the study. 6 of the companies are from the US, 2 each are from India and Japan, and 1 each from Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Italy, Mexico, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. The strong scores of these top companies demonstrate the strong relative respect in which they are held by the general public in their respective home countries. By contrast, the public in the remaining 14 countries show less appreciation for their top companies.
The Global Pulse 2008 is the third annual study of the reputations of the World's Largest Companies. The survey rated companies on seven critical parameters: Workplace, Citizenship, Innovation, Governance, Product & Services, Leadership and Performance.
Over 60,000 online interviews with consumers in 27 countries on six continents were conducted in February and early March 2008. More than 150,000 ratings were used to create reliable measures of the 'corporate reputation' of more than 1,000 companies.
