Methodology

The list is based on research and analysis carried out by Deloitte. Explaining its methodology, Interbrand says: “The nominees are drawn from Interbrand’s annual Best Global Brands report, which ranks the world’s 100 most valuable brands. Brands on this list have a global presence and a demonstrated record of delivering value to their stakeholders. Interbrand excludes any brands that are considered distinct from their corporate parent because environmental activities are normally reported at a corporate level, while consumers are generally aware of the market-facing brand.”
