Methodology

The Prestige score

Total Prestige combines accepted CP support and CEO Rankings Recognition. Public support and Customer or client add 200 Prestige; Employee and Ownership or leadership add 400; Business partner and Supplier add 1,000. Each eligible historical CR point adds 5 Prestige once.

Six sources of support

The six groups describe accepted CP support. Their percentages use the CP support total. CEO Rankings Recognition is displayed separately and included in total Prestige.

• Ownership & leadership
• Employees
• Customers & clients
• Business partners
• Suppliers
• Public support

Verification fee

The verification fee is 1 Credit per 40 Prestige, paid by the company’s designated account: 200 Prestige costs 5 Credits, 400 costs 10 and 1,000 costs 25. The supporter pays nothing. Recognition from CR does not incur this fee.

Ranking and movement

Companies are ranked by published Prestige. Equal positive scores share the same global rank. Companies with zero Prestige all share the last rank, equal to the total number of published companies in the ranking. Country and industry filters preserve global positions. The 24h table column shows position changes; CP LIVE and Top Movers show changes in Prestige points.

Verification and trust

All support passes Cloudflare and device checks. Public support and Customer or client require no email address. The other four groups require email confirmation and applicable domain and eligibility checks. Corporate domains must be at least 180 days old. Routine commercial support requires no additional declarations or documentary proof.

What the ranking measures

Corporate Prestige measures participation and Prestige within its own system. It is not a measure of revenue, market value, creditworthiness or investment quality.

CEO Rankings Recognition

Initial Prestige awarded from the CEO’s frozen all-time CEO Rankings score. Each CR point contributes 5 Prestige. This is a one-time allocation.

Prestige Power

Prestige Power describes the breadth, independence and credibility of actual CP support. Recognition from CR does not count as support, activate a group or award stars. Until its detailed methodology is published, companies remain Not rated.
