The KWD Webranking survey (previously known as H&H Webranking) is an international webranking study. It has been conducted by KWD in Russia since 2006, and was first launched in 1997. The study evaluates the English-language version of corporate websites. Webranking is based on more than 500 responses to the KWD Webranking Questionnaires where stakeholders report what they ask of corporate websites. Companies participating in Webranking are chosen by their market capitalization. Every website is evaluated by various stakeholders at least twice, and potential winners are evaluated at least three times.
 
The KWD Webranking 2011-2012 protocol includes 120 criteria divided in 10 sections for a maximum score of 100 points. The most important for Webranking are sections of financial information, corporate governance, corporate social responsibility, and employer branding.

This year’s Webranking study evaluated 950 websites in 40 countries, including the 33 largest in Russia by market capitalization. KWD Webranking also ranked companies included in the Financial Times (FT) Europe 500 and the 100 largest companies in FT Global 500, as well as complementary country lists (a total of 749 companies in Europe).
