Methodology

The brands in YouGov Global Best Brand Rankings were ranked based on the Index score, which measures overall brand health calculated by taking the average of Impression, Quality, Value, Satisfaction, Recommend, and Reputation from hundreds of thousands of surveys from January 1 to December 31, 2023.

The Best Brand Improvers charts rank the brands with the highest increase in Index scores, comparing scores from January 1 to December 31, 2023, to the previous 12-month period.

All Index scores listed have been rounded to a single decimal place; however, we have used additional precision to assign ranks. All brands have been tracked for at least 18 months to appear in the Improvers tables.
