The World’s Most Trustworthy Companies 2024 were identified in an independent survey based on a vast sample of more than 70,000 participants in 23 industries spanning 20 countries. The participants rated companies they knew and that were headquartered in the respective country in terms of three touchpoints of trust: Investor Trust, Customer Trust, and Employee Trust. A total of 230,000 evaluations were analyzed, and for each company that received enough evaluations, a social listening analysis was conducted. This phase of the project involved a sentiment analysis of the companies on several media segments of the internet and evaluating their mentions as either positive, neutral, or negative. All stock-listed companies headquartered in one of the target countries with a revenue of over 500 million USD were considered in the study.
