Methodology
The Swayable-ANA ESG Brand Perception index poll has been conducted since April 1, 2021 using Swayable's proprietary consumer data and analysis platform. It is based on a sample of more than 15,000 American adults aged 18 or older, who are users of smartphone devices and apps that participate in Swayable's network. Scores are determined monthly for between 400 and 500 brands, consisting of ANA members and others determined to have sufficient national consumer familiarity. All reported figures are rounded to the nearest whole number, and the estimated margin of error is 1-2 points. Calculated scores are scaled averages of Environmental, Social, and Governance answers from respondents, who score the three metrics on 100-point slider scales from: Very Negative 0 → Neutral 50 → Very Positive 100. All respondents are given non-cash rewards for participation, with clear opt-in consent. No unnecessary personally identifiable information is requested or collected.
