In the "World’s Most Admired Companies" ranking by U.S. business magazine Fortune, Bayer comes ninth out of all chemical companies worldwide in terms of its image. The Group enjoys a strong reputation in the industry, in particular in the areas of innovation and people management.
About this Ranking:
To determine the best-regarded companies in 52 industries, executives, directors, and analysts were asked to rate enterprises in their own industry on nine reputation criteria. A company’s score must rank in the top half of its industry survey to be listed. World’s Most Admires Companies ranking has been conducted annually since 1997 and is one of the most cited and recognized global reputation benchmarks.

About this Ranking:
Each year Brand Finance – one of the world’s most influential brand rating agencies – determines the most valuable and strongest brands using the “Royalty Relief Approach”, which values the company brand based on the hypothetical cash flows that are saved because the respective business owns the brand, and therefore does not need to license it.
