Methodology:<\/strong> Since 2009 Trust Across America\u2019s FACTS\u00ae Framework has been measuring and ranking public companies on five equally weighted quantitative indicators of integrity, forming the acronym FACTS- Financial stability, Accounting Conservativeness, Corporate Governance, Transparency and Sustainability. Our objective model (companies do not know they are being analyzed nor are any internal employee surveys completed) was initially constructed in 2008 and measures the corporate trustworthiness\/integrity of the largest 2000 US public companies. Trust Across America\u2019s Most Trustworthy Public Companies ranks the Russell 1000.<\/p>\n

This, by order of magnitude, is the most comprehensive and fact-based ongoing study on this subject. We analyze quarterly and rank order by company, sector and market capitalization. We are particularly interested in tracking individual companies and sector trends over time.<\/p>\n
