The table below lists all rankings we have already rated and assessed. The interactive list enables you to filter the rankings by different information (Name of Ranking, Date of recent publication, Ranking category, Media Coverage), by categories that we rate (Relevance/Impact, Trustworthiness/Intention, Added Value/Insights, Methodology) as well as by the overall aggregated points. If you are interested in a particular type of ranking, for instance, on Innovation, CSR and Sustainability, Employer Attractiveness and Diversity or Corporate Brand and Reputation, please click on the arrows next to “Ranking Category” and the categories in the list will be ordered alphabetically. If you want to know which rankings really provide added value for your daily work or which are useless, please click on the arrows next to “Aggregated Points”.
