Fortune and Korn Ferry have partnered on the Fortune World's Most Admired Companies list to identify and rank companies by their corporate reputation for over 25 years. Top executives, directors and members of the financial community are asked to rate enterprises in their own industry on nine attributes. Among these attributes are innovativeness, long-term investment value, financial soundness and ability to attract and retain talent.
