What is the Edelman Trust Barometer?

Conducted annually across global markets since 2000, it reveals how trust is built, lost, and regained in an ever-evolving world. As a signature asset of Edelman, the Trust Barometer provides the data and insight that shape the firm’s counsel to clients. It helps leaders understand public expectations, navigate societal shifts, and use trust as a strategic advantage to lead with credibility and drive lasting impact.
