Reputation Measurement
Reputation Measurement (RM) is Melbourne-based company which aims to rank corporations on their corporate social responsibility performance.
RM describes itself as an "independent ratings agency which provides objective opinion and analysis on the social risk profiles of listed companies, private companies, government entities and not-for-profit organisations."[1]
For several years it produced the Good Reputation Index, a 16-page liftout ranking Australia's top 100 companies. The Index was published in the Fairfax owned newspapers, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. After some companies refused to respond to surveys for the index, the results of which were ranked by a range of non-government organisations, the index was discontinued.
Subsequently Reputation Measurement have launched RepuTex.
While co-ordinating the Index, Reputation Measurement CEO, Laurel Grossman also undertook consulting work for companies, including British American Tobacco.[2]
