The 2011 CFI Top 100 Emerging Market Companies were compiled by using the nominations and the votes from CFI’s subscriber base and in addition by the judges on the editing board. The criteria included financial performance, such as sales and profit growth, but not the companies’ relative size. In addition, the rankings were compiled by also using qualitative criteria such as the companies’ public image and their excellence in performance on issues such as integrity, quality of products and services, innovation, and also their green and clean-tech profile. The selected award winners are only from the emerging markets continents as shown above, i.e. Latin America, the Middle East and Asia and as such the list excludes companies from other emerging market countries, e.g. Russia.
