Levi Strauss & Co.
January 21, 2026

We are pleased to share that Levi Strauss & Co. has been included, for the sixth time in the past seven years, in Fortune’s annual list of the World’s Most Admired Companies — ranking fourth among the top five apparel companies globally.

Fortune’s list was compiled by Fortune and Korn Ferry based on a survey of corporate reputation. First, candidates for the list (based on revenue) were scaled down from 1,500 to 685 in 29 countries. The top-rated companies were picked from that pool of 685 companies. To determine the best-regarded companies in each industry, Korn Ferry asked executives, directors and analysts who work at the companies to rate enterprises in their own industry on nine criteria sections, including:

  • Innovation
  • People Management
  • Use of Corporate Assets
  • Social Responsibility
  • Quality of Management
  • Financial Soundness
  • Long-term Investment Value
  • Quality of Products/Services
  • Global Competitiveness

We are honored to rank among the world’s most admired companies, and we look forward to continuing to position our company as a DTC-first, head-to-toe denim lifestyle retailer.
