Toyota is NZ's most reputable company again
Toyota New Zealand has claimed the top spot in the annual Kantar Corporate Reputation Index. This cements its place as the most reputable company in the country for a second consecutive year. It also follows Toyota winning the Reader's Digest 'Most Trusted Car Brand' in New Zealand for the 20th consecutive year. The Kantar Corporate Reputation Index, now in its 11th year, measures consumer perceptions of New Zealand's top 50 companies, addressing trust, leadership, fairness, and responsibility. Among the top 10 companies, Toyota led in the Trust and Leadership pillars and ranked among the top performers in Fairness and Responsibility. Tatsuya Ishikawa (front) with other members of the TNZ management team. Toyota New Zealand Chief Executive, Tatsuya Ishikawa, says the recognition reflects both the strength of the Toyota team and the trust customers place in the brand. 'Toyota is a brand for all New Zealanders. Every day, we work hard to earn their trust, in every interaction we have with them. 'Our ambition has always been to be more than just a car company. We want to be a trusted partner in our customers' lives and a responsible contributor to New Zealand's future. 'Toyota Stores don't just invest in their businesses; they also invest in the communities they're part of. We recognise their efforts through our annual Citizenship Awards. We complement this local impact with national initiatives that support safer roads and stronger communities across New Zealand.' Tatsuya Ishikawa continues: 'At our core, we're a mobility company but it's the strength of our relationship with customers that drives our success. That relationship doesn't begin and end with a purchase. We work hard to anticipate needs, resolve issues quickly, and deliver a seamless experience at every stage. How we look after our customers after a purchase is so important to us. While things won't always go to plan, being truly customer-focused means taking responsibility and putting things right quickly, and with care. 'We're focused on helping communities thrive, not just through economic investment but by shaping a more sustainable future. That means continuing to electrify our fleet, reducing emissions, and staying on track to meet our goal of net-zero carbon by 2050,' says Tatsuya Ishikawa. 'At Toyota, we embrace the philosophy of kaizen, a commitment to continuous improvement. It's a simple idea, but a powerful one. We believe reputation is earned one decision, one relationship, one interaction at a time.'

Ryman Healthcare Named New Zealand's Most Trusted Aged Care Brand
Ryman Healthcare (Ryman) is proud to be named New Zealand's Most Trusted Brand in the aged care and retirement village category at the 2025 Reader's Digest Most Trusted Brands Awards. This marks the eleventh time Ryman has received the top industry award, reinforcing its long-standing reputation as New Zealand's most trusted and largest provider of retirement living and aged care. Ryman Chief Executive Officer Naomi James says the award is a meaningful endorsement of the company's ongoing commitment to residents and their families. 'Care is at the heart of everything we do, and we appreciate the trust our residents and their families place in us to deliver on this commitment.' Since 1984, Ryman has been guided by the belief that care should be 'good enough for Mum and Dad' - a principle that continues to inspire and unite the team 40 years on. 'I'm incredibly proud of our team,' says James. 'Their dedication, kindness, and the way they go the extra mile every day is what makes this recognition so meaningful. It's a true reflection of the care they show our residents, and their commitment to our purpose of delivering freedom, connection, and wellbeing as we grow older.' Survey participants praised Ryman for its wonderful staff, excellent amenities, and the full range of care options offered across its villages, highlighting experiences of peace of mind for their loved ones. One participant noted: 'Ryman has been fantastic for my Nana. The staff are so caring and helpful.' The annual Reader's Digest survey, conducted by Catalyst Consultancy & Research, asked 1,750 New Zealanders to select and rate the three brands they trust most across 66 different categories. Ryman has won the top consumer award every year since 2014 aside from 2017 when it was highly commended.
