Research among 800 CEOs and other top executives in Europe and North America found that corporate reputation management has moved up the boardroom agenda amid tough trading conditions and a wave of corporate scandals.

When choosing a new CEO, 62% of UK boards say they would look for a candidate capable of protecting and enhancing the company’s reputation. CEOs are also increasingly measured and paid according to their reputation management skills.

The research, by communications firm Hill & Knowlton, found that 88% of British firms believe appearing socially responsible will help build employee loyalty and improve sales, and two-thirds now monitor corporate responsibility initiatives.
