Air NZ’s gotta good rep…thanks to sets and reps?

We’d like to think it’s purely because of the quirky in-flight videos with Richard Simmons, but Air New Zealand pulled a first place rank in the Corporate Reputation Index. This means Air NZ has the country’s number one reputation on the corporate side of things.

Research Company AMR and the Reputation Institute compiled data for the second year in a row to determine which of our country’s 25 biggest companies made the index. The list will show household company names, including The New Zealand Post, which topped the list last year.

Companies were ranked according to seven different criteria, including: products, governance, innovation, workplace, leadership, citizenship and financial performance. Inventory of leg warmers, sparkling outfits and incredible aerobics moves were not part of the ranking criteria. Gutted.
