Business Wire
FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) is once again among the most admired
companies in the world, according to a survey published in FORTUNE
magazine.
The annual “World’s Most Admired Companies” report released
today lists FedEx as the No. 12 ranked company overall, and No. 1
in the delivery industry. The survey measures nine attributes
related to financial performance and corporate reputation.
“This great honor is a reflection of hundreds of thousands of
our team members deciding each day to make every FedEx experience
outstanding,” said Frederick W. Smith, chairman, president and
chief executive officer, FedEx Corp.
Since 2001, FedEx has ranked among the top 20 in the FORTUNE
World’s Most Admired Companies list.
Survey Methodology
The FORTUNE/Hay Group started with approximately 1,400
companies: the Fortune 1,000 (the 1,000 largest U.S. companies
ranked by revenue) and non-U.S. companies in Fortune's global 500
data base with revenue of $10 billion or more. The group then
selected the 15 largest for each international industry and the 10
largest for each U.S. industry, surveying a total of 687 companies
from 30 countries. To create the 57 industry lists, Hay asked
executives, directors, and analysts to rate companies in their
industry on nine criteria, from investment value to social
responsibility. A company's score must rank in the top half of its
industry survey to be listed.
To arrive at the top 50 Most Admired Companies overall, the Hay
Group asked 3,800 respondents to select the 10 companies they
admired most, from a list made up of the companies that ranked in
the top 25% in last year’s survey, plus those that finished in the
top 20% of their industry. Anyone could vote for any company in any
industry.
Hay Group, which has conducted the research for the World’s Most
Admired Companies list since 1997 and for America's Most Admired
Companies since 2001, is a global management consulting firm. For
