2016 Edelman TRUST BAROMETER revealed trust in all four institutions has reached its highest level since the Great Recession, with business receiving the largest increase in trust among both the informed public and the larger general population.
The global rebound of trust has failed to take root in Hong Kong. Following years of declines, taking Hong Kong from the fifth to seventeenth most trusting nation surveyed, this year’s results indicate an ongoing sense of uncertainty about the future of the SAR’s institutions.
This year’s lecture will include a deep analysis of trust in CEOs and roadmap for CEOs to address the trust gap in Hong Kong, with sentiment towards business leaders here failing to match the improvements recorded globally.

The 2015 Edelman Trust Barometer is the firm’s 15th annual exploration of trust. We surveyed 33,000 people (27,000 General Public and 6,000 Informed Public respondents) in 27 countries around the world on their trust in the institutions of government, media, business and NGOs.

About the Edelman Trust Barometer:
The 2014 Edelman Trust Barometer is the firm’s 14th annual trust and credibility survey. The survey was produced by research firm Edelman Berland and consisted of 20-minute online interviews conducted October 16, 2013 – November 29, 2013. The 2014 Edelman Trust Barometer online survey sampled 27,000 general population respondents with an oversample of 6,000 informed publics ages 25-64 across 27 countries. All informed publics met the following criteria: college-educated; household income in the top quartile for their age in their country; read or watch business/news media at least several times a week; follow public policy issues in the news at least several times a week. For more information, visit: http://www.edelman.com/insights/intellectual-property/trust-2014/.
In 2012, trust in financial services was at 43 percent on a global basis. In 2016, global trust in this industry is at 51 percent – an 8-point increase over this five-year period, the most of any industry the barometer surveys.
Financial services, however, is still the least trusted industry we survey. Trust is too fragile, and today’s financial services climate is too unpredictable for companies to rest on their laurels. The industry needs to continue to be dynamic and double-down on trust building solutions.

The 2016 Edelman Trust Barometer shares disturbing news about a widening gap in trust in all major institutions between the informed public and mass population.
The story for the healthcare industry is a cautionary tale and one that bears watching. At a global level, and using general population (informed public plus mass population) findings* with 28 countries surveyed, healthcare is near the bottom with a trust score of 61, just ahead of Telecommunications, Energy and Financial Services.

Edelman Trust Barometer: Global Energy Industry Edelman
Global trends are driving much of the energy conversation, from private businesses and public policymakers, to consumers, shareholders and other stakeholders. There is a need and struggle to balance economic, environmental, security and societal concerns related to energy demand, production and impact. When it comes to having a license to lead and operate in the energy space, the stakes are high, and trust and reputation are critical. Edelman works with clients to look at their business objectives through a lens of trust.

The 2016 Edelman Trust Barometer revealed that trust in all four institutions measured – government, business, the media and NGO’s – is increasing, with business in the lead. Across the 33,000 respondents in 28 countries, we saw a rise of 5 percent in trust in business this year, a larger increase than in any of the other three institutions. Those surveyed also trust business more than the other institutions to keep pace with the changing times.

2016 Edelman Trust Barometer - Trust and the CEOEdelman
As part of this year’s Edelman Trust Barometer, we conducted a special piece of supplementary research on trust in the CEO. The findings included in this presentation reveal a critical trust challenge for CEOs but also a rich opportunity for leadership. We believe a new model of CEO leadership is emerging and there are clear actions a CEO can take to rebuild trust and credibility.
Our 2014 Trust Barometer makes it clear that engagement and integrity are the path forward to building trust with consumers, employees, regulators, partners and clients. Now is the time for industry leaders to seize the opportunity by rebuilding trust in a way that is sustainable for business and puts customers and society at the center of focus.

De Edelman Trust Barometer 2016 is het 16e jaarlijkse wereldwijde onderzoek naar vertrouwen en geloofwaardigheid. De enquête is uitgevoerd door onderzoeksbureau Edelman Berland. Het onderzoek bestond uit een twintig minuten durende online vragenlijst, die afgenomen werd tussen 13 oktober 2015 en 16 november 2015. De Trust Barometer 2016 werd uitgevoerd in 28 landen onder 32.200 respondenten uit het algemene publiek, waarvan 6.200 tot het geïnformeerde publiek (leeftijdscategorie 25-64 jaar) behoort. Geïnformeerd publiek werd gedefinieerd als hogeropgeleiden met een inkomen dat in de top 25 procent ligt van mensen in dezelfde leeftijdscategorie uit hetzelfde land. Ze volgen meerdere keren per week zakelijke en nieuwsmedia en publieke beleidsissues.

2017 es el año de la Crisis de Confianza.
La confianza en las instituciones cae en caída libre.
- El 75% de los países que participan en el estudio, desconfían del gobierno.
- El 82% de los encuestados desconfían de los medios de Comunicación.
La desconfianza está instalada en el sistema y afecta a todo tipo de instituciones: empresas, medios de comunicación, gobiernos y, por primera vez, desde que se hace el estudio, aparecen las ONGs.
El estudio desvela que:
- El 53% de la población cree que el sistema no funciona.
- Solo el 15% piensa que el sistema funciona.
- El resto, el 32% se muestra indeciso.
Entre las preocupaciones más populares que motivan la desconfianza en el sistema:
-La corrupción.
-La globalización
- La erosión de los valores sociales.
-El fenómeno de la inmigración.
- La incertidumbre que genera la rapidez con las que se producen las innovaciones.
El Barómatro de Confianza 2017 identifica tres atributos que ayudan a construir confianza en las empresas y marcas:
- Los empleados como elemento indispensable. Las empresas tienen que dar un giro y tomar conciencia que el talento hay que retenerlo y que los empleados son la base de generación de confianza. Tratar bien los empleados es vital.
- Ofrecer productos y servicios de calidad.
- Escuchar y empatizar con los clientes.
Los niveles relativos de confianza en las instituciones individuales han subido y han caído. Ya desde el 2005, identificamos el crecimiento de la influencia de los pares, con “una persona como yo” estableciéndose como un vocero en el 2006, antes de que Facebook fuera muy conocido.
El año pasado observamos el papel esencial de la confianza en la innovación. Este año observamos algo nuevo: la creciente desigualdad de la confianza.

Hong Kong Full Results: 2013 Edelman Trust BarometerEdelman
Last year’s Trust barometer showed trust in business in Hong Kong was significantly lower than in most Asia-Pacific countries, but in line with global results. However, this year’s findings show a significant 13-point increase in the trust of businesses in Hong Kong, while global trust in business rose five percentage points, all among informed publics. This shift may indicate a stronger association of Hong Kong to Asia and that it is a steadily becoming more trusting market.

Presented by Alan Vandermolen in Hong Kong January 29, 2013. Last year’s Trust barometer showed trust in business in Hong Kong was significantly lower than in most Asia-Pacific countries, but in line with global results. However, this year’s findings show a significant 13-point increase in the trust of businesses in Hong Kong, while global trust in business rose five percentage points, all among informed publics. This shift may indicate a stronger association of Hong Kong to Asia and that it is a steadily becoming more trusting market.
