Tech leaders outperform Nasdaq, S&P 500 and MSCI World
Indices in annual stock value
TORONTO, Jan. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Thomson
Reuters unveiled the world's 100 leading technology companies today
in its inaugural Top 100 Global Technology Leaders listing, a
program that identifies the industry's most operationally sound and
financially successful organizations.
The industry's first holistic assessment of today's leading tech
companies utilizes a 28-data-point algorithm to objectively
identify organizations with the fortitude for the future in today's
complex business environment. The methodology measures performance
across eight pillars: Financial, Management and Investor
Confidence, Risk and Resilience, Legal Compliance, Innovation,
People and Social Responsibility, Environmental Impact, and
Reputation. Its patent-pending approach was developed by Thomson
Reuters Labs.
"Tech companies operate at warp speed confronting competitive,
regulatory, legal, financial, supply chain and myriad other
business challenges. Oftentimes, their financial success
overshadows their operational integrity, making it difficult to
identify those organizations with true longevity for the future,"
said Alex Paladino, global managing
director of the Thomson Reuters Technology Practice Group. "With
the Top 100 Global Tech Leaders, we've identified the unique data
points that embody technology-industry leadership in the
21st century; congratulations to the companies that made
the list."

comprising the tech sector in the Thomson Reuters Business
