The Most Trusted & Liked Companies in Italy — 2026

Caliber's annual FTSE MIB 40 reputation ranking

Trust is one of the strongest predictors of stakeholder behavior. It drives support in good times and protects reputation when companies come under pressure.

This ranking shows which of Italy’s largest listed companies lead on trust and likability in 2026. But this year, it goes further.

This year’s ranking covers:
 
  • Most Trusted & Liked — Overall scores across all stakeholder groups, not just consumers
  • Most Volatile — Companies with the widest perception swings in 2025, signaling reputational instability
  • Most Stable — Companies with the most consistent scores, indicating durable stakeholder confidence
  • Biggest Turnarounds — Companies that recovered most from their lowest score in 2025 to Q4
  • And for the first time: trust, media, and markets — together

Companies with a Familiarity Score Below 15%

Scores are based on evaluations from demographically representative respondents with high familiarity — scoring 4+ on a 7-point scale after showing general awareness of the company. Companies where under 15% of respondents met that threshold are excluded from the main ranking and listed separately instead, since the ranking is meant to reflect general public opinion rather than specialist or insider views. These tend to be companies with lower public visibility — often B2B or niche players — that are nonetheless well known to the customers, employees, and industry insiders who do engage with them, which can push their scores higher than their public familiarity would suggest.

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.
