* Global Retailing Index doesn't rely on turnover alone.
The index includes a combination of 'hard' and 'soft' factors, which in IGD's view determine whether a retailer can be considered as global or not. The factors have been given a different weighting, depending on their relative importance to being a global retailer. http://www.igd.com/analysis/
