The RepTrak® System measures a company’s ability to deliver on stakeholder expectations on the seven key rational dimensions of reputation: products and services, innovation, workplace, governance, citizenship, leadership and performance. The U.S. RepTrak® 100 ranks the most reputable global companies based on more than 83,000 ratings collected in the first quarter of 2016 from members of the U.S. general public.

The study shows that the American general public believes that U.S.-based companies have stronger reputations than companies of international origin.
