2016 Edelman Trust Barometer - Food & Beverage Results

  1. THIS EXIT MARKET In Today’s Global Food & Beverage Environment
  2. OUR 5-STEP RECIPE FOR TRUST IN FOOD & BEVERAGE • The growing inequality in trust that we see in the Edelman Trust Barometer also applies to the food and beverage industry, and is even more pronounced in industry sub- sectors. • “Swing trusters” – the largest group of constituents – are the food and beverage industry’s equivalent to on-the-fence voters, and need to be further examined and engaged in trust- building efforts. • Purpose is the missing – but essential – ingredient in food and beverage industry trust. • In this transformative food and beverage environment, CEO trust must be earned by taking transparent actions that drive both business and societal benefit. • If CEOs are the executive chefs, the industry employees at all levels are the untapped – and indispensable – sous chefs in building and maintaining food and beverage industry trust.
