HAMILTON, Bermuda-Tuesday 9 April 2019 [ AETOS Wire ]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Family-owned Bacardi Limited, the largest privately held spirits company in the world, celebrates being named once again among the most reputable companies in the world, as part of the annual Global RepTrak® 100 list compiled by the Reputation Institute (RI) and published in Forbes. Ranked at #87, Bacardi Limited climbed two spots and has made the annual global list seven consecutive times.

Based on more than 230,000 individual ratings collected in the first quarter of 2019, the annual survey is the largest corporate reputation study of its kind, and provides comparative rankings, demographic trends, and unique insights into the dynamics behind reputational impact. The global study shows what drives trust including ethical behavior, fairness, product value and transparency while identifying behaviors including intent to purchase a company’s products, willingness to invest in, or even work for, the company.

“Consumers are at the heart of everything we do at Bacardi as we are all about bringing people together, in real life, to celebrate moments that matter. It is rewarding to know that once again, consumers recognize us for being a good corporate citizen,” said Mahesh Madhavan, chief executive officer, Bacardi Limited. “I raise my glass to our talented teams across the world, as they are the driving force behind the positive impact on the communities in which we operate.”

For more than 20 years, RI measures the reputation of thousands of companies using its RepTrak® framework. The Global RepTrak® 100 study measures multinational companies with a presence in all 15 surveyed countries and brand familiarity with at least 40% of the general population on seven dimensions of reputation including products and services, innovation, workplace, governance, citizenship, leadership and performance. The countries in the annual survey – Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, South Korea, Spain, United Kingdom and United States – represent the largest economies.

In putting together its annual list of the world’s most reputable companies, RI assigns each company a score between 0 and 100 – The RepTrak Pulse – ascertained by taking into account the esteem, trust, admiration and feelings the general public has for each company. A company’s performance across seven categories of reputation explain the rational drivers behind the emotional bond.
