In this conceptual paper, the “Corporate Halal Reputation Index” is proposed, which acts as predictor for corporate halal reputation and sales in Muslim markets.Design/methodology/approachThis paper builds further on previous work published in the Journal of Islamic Marketing on Islamic Branding. Research propositions are constructed on the drivers and moderating variables of corporate halal reputation.FindingsHalal authenticity, trustworthiness of halal certification body, messages by company and supply chain partners, messages by external stakeholders and the moderating variables category of Islamic brand and sensitivity of product are expected to determine the corporate halal reputation. Alignment between the corporate halal reputation drivers and halal market requirements will be critical for brands to earn and protect their license to operate in Muslim markets.Research limitations/implicationsThis conceptual paper proposes that halal authenticity, trustworthiness of halal certification body, messages by company and supply chain partners, and messages by external stakeholders, as well as two moderating variables, are essentially determining the corporate halal reputation.
