The fit for purpose factor seems tricky; I remember a question about a tech company that lost customers because their product didn't meet expectations. It really shows how important it is to align with customer needs.

I think sustainability is a big one too, but I'm not sure how it directly impacts reputation. We had a case study on a company that faced backlash for environmental practices, though.

Ha! Can you imagine a construction company using a supplier that puts in doors that fall apart in 3 months? That's a surefire way to get a bad reputation fast. And a drilling company that spills oil? Talk about a PR nightmare!
