Korn Ferry Partners with Fortune on the World’s Most Admired Companies List for 27th Year
The World’s Most Admired Companies are defined as those in the top half of their industries in terms of overall reputation, with peer companies scoring in the bottom half. In addition, there is an All-Star List of the Top 50 across all industries,
While the overall top ten All-Stars remained mostly consistent compared to 2023, several new players broke into the top 50 rankings in 2024. These new companies were propelled onto the list by a broad confidence in their effectiveness in conducting business globally, innovativeness and soundness of financial position. Three industries (general merchandisers, megabanks and pharmaceuticals) tied for top overall representation with four companies each.
The highest scoring attributes for the All Stars were financial stability, quality of products and services and quality of management.
“It’s probably no surprise that soundness of financial position comes out on top, especially in the current climate,” says
“Quality still counts,” said
Additional data, which explores the talent strategies and growth levers implemented by the World’s Most Admired Companies, is forthcoming in the next month.
