Corporations’ reputations continue to decline throughout the world – 71% of U.S. consumers rate corporate
America’s reputation as
poor – but consumers still will buy, recommend and invest in the most visible
companies that focus on building their corporate reputations, according
to the ninth annual Harris Interactive Reputation Quotient (RQ) survey,
MarketingCharts reports.
Here are the top 10 companies on this year’s RQ list (see top

The RQ surveys thousands of American consumers to identify the 60 most
visible companies and rank them based on their reputation in six categories:
Emotional Appeal, Products & Services, Social Responsibility, Vision &
Leadership, Workplace Environment, and Financial Performance.
