The results of four major annual reputational rankings have been released—and Amazon ranked at or near the top in each of them. The Harvard CAPs Harris Poll, Morning Consult Most Trusted Brands list, the Axios Harris Poll, and Boston Consulting Group’s Most Innovative Companies report released rankings that look at various factors that make up a company’s overall reputation—favorability, trustworthiness, visibility, and innovation.
In the Harvard CAPs Harris Poll, Amazon ranks as the most favorable institution, ahead of all other companies and government institutions, including the U.S. military. In the Morning Consult list, Amazon ranks No. 3 among the most trusted brands in the U.S. and No. 1 among tech brands. In the Axios Harris Poll, which looks at the 100 most visible companies among American consumers, Amazon is No. 8, marking its 15th consecutive Top 10 ranking. In Boston Consulting Group’s annual Most Innovative Companies report, Amazon ranks No. 3.
Here’s what to know about each ranking.

Axios Harris Poll
The Axios Harris Poll is based on a survey of 16,310 Americans in a nationally representative sample. The process starts by surveying the public’s top-of-mind awareness of companies that either excel or falter in society. These 100 “most visible companies” are then rated by a second group of Americans across seven dimensions of reputation to determine the ranking. Amazon ranked No. 8, which was the company’s 15th consecutive Top 10 ranking.
