This year’s “World’s Most Admired Companies” report lists FedEx as the No. 10 ranked company overall.  The survey measures nine attributes related to financial performance and corporate reputation.

 

“To be ranked in the top 10 of the FORTUNE World’s Most Admired Company rankings once again is an incredible achievement, and by no small measure our team members in the Asia Pacific region have contributed to this result,” said Karen Reddington, president, Asia Pacific, FedEx Express.  “Our ranking is a reflection of our unique culture.  With a strong people-first philosophy, we strive to make every customer experience outstanding.  This is why people want to work for us, and why customers want to use our services.”

 

This is the 19th consecutive year that FedEx has ranked among the top 20 in the FORTUNE Most Admired Companies List, with 15 of those years ranking among the top 10.

 

FORTUNE collaborates with partner Korn Ferry Hay Group on this corporate reputation survey, which evaluates approximately 1,500 companies, including the 1,000 largest U.S. companies ranked by revenue and non-U.S. companies in the FORTUNE Global 500 database with revenues of $10 billion or more.  Korn Ferry Hay Group surveys 680 companies from 29 countries to select the 15 largest for each international industry and the 10 largest for each U.S. industry.

 

Executives, directors and analysts are then asked to rate companies in their own industry on nine criteria, from investment value to social responsibility, and this vote results in the 52 industry lists.  A company’s score must rank in the top half of its industry survey to be listed.
