Responsibility and effective management influence investment decisions
The survey shows that the best parts of reputation are considered to consist of listed companies’ products and services, finances and management.
Responsibility was also found to have a significant impact on investment decisions. The reputation was measured using the Reputation & Trust survey model, in which the evaluation is based on eight dimensions: governance, financial performance, leadership, innovation, dialogue, products and services, workplace, and responsibility.
