Research feature: the Global Top 50

The IR Magazine Global Top 50 is compiled from the results of our six regional awards in the US, Canada, Europe, Greater China, South East Asia and Brazil over the past year. We have taken a number of factors into account in the final standings, including the survey’s sample size in each region and the different markets in which each company operates. This is achieved by using the following formula: total regional awards points divided first by the number of survey respondents and then by the number of award categories, and then multiplied by the regional market’s total capitalization.

The short lists for those awards are included in the report.
