The Most Trusted and Liked Companies in France in 2023

CAC 40 INDEX RANKING

There’s ample proof that stakeholder behavior is linked to the degree to which people trust and like a company.

The Trust & Like Score is, therefore, the chief element we use to measure the strength of a company’s brand and reputation.

The rankings presented here are derived from Caliber’s real-time tracking study, which assesses the public perceptions of companies listed on the France CAC40 Index daily. 

The study incorporates 20,857 responses, representing a diverse sample of the French population.

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
