The Corporate Reputation of Pharma Companies, 2016: from the Perspective of 53 Respiratory Patient Groups (2nd edition)
- Published Tuesday, 22nd August 2017
- Part of a series of reports offered by PatientView
- Format is PowerPoint/PDF (94 pages)
- These results are derived from a global review of pharma’s corporate reputation (conducted November 2016 to early-February 2017).
- This report is based on the opinions of 53 respiratory patient groups, from Finland (8), USA (5), Spain (4), and 19 other countries.
- The specialty areas of the respiratory patient groups: asthma (8), cystic fibrosis (8), COPD (7), allergy (2), lung cancer (2), and respiratory conditions in general (26).
- 11 pharma companies are included in this 2016 respiratory analysis: • AstraZeneca • Bayer • Boehringer Ingelheim • Chiesi Farmaceutici •
GSK • Merck & Co • Novartis • Pfizer • Roche • Sandoz • and • Teva. The 11 companies were chosen because a minimum of 19 respiratory patient groups declared familiarity with each one.
18 patient groups (from Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the USA) provided comments on pharma's corporate reputation.
Industry-wide questions: - How the pharma industry’s corporate reputation compares with that of other healthcare industries.
- How the pharma
industry’s corporate reputation has changed over the past five years.
- How good or bad the pharma industry is at various activities of relevance to patients and patient groups.
7 indicators show the corporate reputation of individual pharma companies: - Patient centricity.
- Information for patients.
- Patient safety.
- Usefulness of products.
- Transparency.
- Integrity.
- Patient-group relationships
(new for 2016).
- 51.0% of 2016's 53 respondent respiratory patient groups thought that the pharma industry had an “Excellent” or “Good” corporate reputation (37.9% of patient groups worldwide thought the same).
- However, only 15% of the respiratory patient groups thought that the pharma industry’s corporate reputation had improved over the past five years (compared with 23% of respondents therapy wide). As many as 33% of respiratory patient groups thought that pharma’s corporate reputation had declined (against 29% therapy wide).
- Respiratory patient groups were, on the whole, positive about many of the pharma industry’s activities in 2016. Some 77% stated that pharma was “Excellent” or
“Good” at creating high-quality products (compared with 64% of patient groups therapy wide).
- Nonetheless, respiratory patient groups sent pharma a clear message in 2016: the key task for improving corporate reputation (out of a list of 15 potential choices) is to do more to create high-quality, useful products (noted by 21% of the respiratory patient groups, but by only 11% of patient groups therapy wide).
If a pharma company wishes to improve its corporate reputation with patients and patient groups, which single strategy do you think would be the MOST IMPORTANT for the company to follow?

HIGHS and LOWS—RESPIRATORY
Pharma companies’ PCRIs among respiratory patient groups familiar with each company, 2016 v. 2015: ordered according to the difference between the PCRI values for the two years (high to low)
The Patient Corporate Reputation Index (PCRI) standardises PatientView’s ranking data, to take into account the different numbers of companies included in country/therapy analyses. The ranking is from 0 to 1, with 1 as the best (the highest) rank.
When PatientView’s Patient Corporate Reputation Index (PCRI) is applied, the final 2016 rankings of companies among respiratory patient groups familiar with them can be compared with those attained by the same companies among respiratory patient groups familiar with each company in 2015.
Such analysis shows that the company which made the biggest improvement in its overall corporate-reputation rankings among respiratory patient groups that were familiar with it, 2015-2016, was AstraZeneca.
