Tech leaders outperform Nasdaq, S&P 500 and MSCI World Indices in annual stock value
TORONTO, Jan. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Thomson Reuters unveiled the world's 100 leading technology companies
today in its inaugural Top 100 Global Technology Leaders
listing, a program that identifies the industry's most operationally sound and financially successful organizations.
The industry's first holistic assessment of today's leading tech companies utilizes a 28-data-point algorithm to objectively
identify organizations with the fortitude for the future in today's complex business environment. The methodology measures
performance across eight pillars: Financial, Management and Investor Confidence, Risk and Resilience, Legal Compliance,
Innovation, People and Social Responsibility, Environmental Impact, and Reputation. Its patent-pending approach was developed by
Thomson Reuters Labs.
"Tech companies operate at warp speed confronting competitive, regulatory, legal, financial, supply chain and myriad other
business challenges. Oftentimes, their financial success overshadows their operational integrity, making it difficult to identify
those organizations with true longevity for the future," said Alex Paladino, global managing
director of the Thomson Reuters Technology Practice Group. "With the Top 100 Global Tech Leaders, we've identified the unique
data points that embody technology-industry leadership in the 21st century; congratulations to the companies that made
the list."
