The Companies NZers Love - And The Ones They Don't

Air New Zealand has welcomed its top ranking in a survey just out today, paying tribute to staff who its boss says are the true heroes of the day.

The survey has been run for the past six years by consultancy AMR in conjunction with the Reputation Institute. Taken last month, the latest index shows Air New Zealand has reclaimed its top placing after falling to 2nd in 2015. It previously ranked third in 2013 and first in 2011 and 2012.

Coming in 2nd in the 2016 rankings, Toyota placed first in 2013, second in 2014 and first in 2015, and only narrowly missed out on line honours this year.

Vodafone's reputation significantly improved in this year's rankings, moving from 20th last year to 9th overall in 2016.

News wasn't so good for our biggest business, dairy giant Fonterra, which saw its spot on the index fall from 17 to 23rd. Consumers spoken to by AMR said ongoing issues with the farmgate milk prices were a key driver for this fall.
