Edelman Trust Barometer 2021

Edelman, in partnership with IoD Ireland, invites you to attend the online launch of the Edelman Trust Barometer 2021, on Tuesday, 9th March 2021. Edelman’s Trust Barometer is the most robust global examination of trust, surveying more than 34,000 respondents in 28 countries. 

Brexit, COVID-19, the related economic downturn and a rising infodemic are profoundly testing our trust in societal institutions. The long term economic and societal implications of these issues will be discussed during the course of the webinar, as well as addressing the following key questions. How are they influencing trust in Government, business and media? What impact will they have on the future of city economies, health services, Ireland’s relationship with the United Kingdom, and public policy decisions in respect of economic recovery?

Joe Carmody, Managing Director of Edelman, will present the findings of the Barometer and host a panel discussion with: 

• Lord Jim O’Neill served as the UK Government’s Commercial Secretary to the Treasury, where he was chiefly charged with making regional financial devolution, and ideas such as the ‘Northern Powerhouse’ viable projects.

He is a published author and the current Chairman of Chatham House, the international affairs think tank. Jim is also Honorary Professor of Economics at Manchester University.
