How to Read the Trust & Like Score

80–100 Very high 70–79 High 60–69 Average 40–59 Low 0–39 Very low

What is the Trust & Like Score (TLS)?

The Trust & Like Score (TLS) is Caliber’s core measure of stakeholder confidence. It combines two questions:

  • Trust: “Is this a company I trust?”

  • Likeability: “Is this a company I like?”

Together, these measures indicate which companies stakeholders are most likely to support and recommend—and which are better positioned to withstand scrutiny.

The TLS ranking is updated annually and is based on continuous measurement throughout the year, making it a stable benchmark rather than a one-off survey snapshot.

Want to understand why your score looks the way it does?

The ranking is the starting point. With Caliber, you can pinpoint what is driving trust and sentiment by:

  • stakeholder segment (customers, employees, investors, public)

  • topic drivers (leadership, ESG, products, governance, innovation)

  • time period (before/after key events)

  • competitive benchmarking across France and other markets
