The world is attempting to navigate a period of rapid and often turbulent change at a time when the public’s trust in leaders and societal institutions is unusually low.
What is the Edelman Trust Institute?

About the Edelman Trust Institute

The Edelman Trust Institute is a think tank that advances the study of trust in society. We produce the Edelman Trust Barometer and disseminate insights based on its findings via partnerships and content.

The Trust Institute builds on over two decades of global research to drive data-informed decisions around the imperative of trust. Edelman launched its first Trust Barometer in 2001 as a direct response to the “Battle in Seattle,” when non-governmental organizations stormed the World Trade Organization to protest globalization as an unfair distribution of wealth. In the decades since, Edelman has studied the dynamic shifts in trust across institutions, geographies and society writ large, substantiating that trust is essential to future success on a societal and company level.
