CHICAGO, March 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Fortune magazine has announced that, for the fourth year, Jones Lang LaSalle (NYSE: JLL) was named to its exclusive annual list of "World's Most Admired Companies," the definitive report card on corporate reputations. The firm was recognized as one of the world's leaders in real estate based on specific attributes, such as global competitiveness, people management, financial soundness, social responsibility and use of corporate assets, among others.

"Across the globe, our colleagues consistently provide innovative solutions that drive value for our clients," said Colin Dyer, Jones Lang LaSalle CEO and President.

Since 1997, Fortune magazine has partnered with Hay Group, a global management consulting firm to identify, analyze, select and rank the World's Most Admired Companies and uncover the business practices that make these companies both highly regarded and successful. The survey process began with approximately 1,400 companies: the Fortune 1,000, non-U.S. companies in Fortune's Global 500 database with revenue of $10 billion or more and the top foreign companies operating in the U.S. The companies were then sorted by industry and the 15 largest for each international industry and the ten largest for each U.S. industry were considered.

Mined from the full list, 698 companies from 58 industries and 32 countries were surveyed. Hay Group asked executives, directors, and analysts to rate companies in their own industry on nine criteria, from investment value to corporate social responsibility.

Stories related to the Fortune's "World's Most Admired Companies" will appear in the magazine's March 19 issue, while a full list of companies is currently available on Fortune's site for its list of "World's Most Admired Companies."
