What is the return on reputation? • A strong link between reputation and stock price - Since the 2008
crisis, those companies with a stronger reputation have performed significantly better (almost 2X the return) than the overall market.
• Better stock price recovery after a crisis – All firms take a similar hit (8%) on average, but higher reputation forms bounce back faster and go higher afterward (RI Study)
• Benefit of the doubt in a crisis - 54% would give reputable companies the benefit of the doubt in a crisis compared to only 20% for lower reputation companies. (RT100)

There is a strong link between reputation and stock price (U.S.)
The chart on this slide demonstrates that the RepTrak Portfolio has outperformed the S&P500 Index since 2006. It has also done so by an increasingly wide margin since the financial crisis of 2008. An investment of $100 in the RepTrak Portfolio would be worth $250 in 2013, whereas investing in the S&P would net approximately half of that, at ~$140.

Does CSR Matter? Companies with excellent or strong CSR reputations have significantly higher stakeholder support. CSR reputation has an even larger impact on support than overall reputation.
