Every year MT asks thousands of entrepreneurs, managers, directors and executives about the reputation of companies across industries. The result is the MT500, the list of the 500 national and international companies with the best reputation. The Cefetra Group has moved up from 352nd place to 52nd. Companies across many industries rank on detailed criteria falling under certain categories.

We’re delighted to have scored well with the judges and peer-to-peer feedback on “good employment” and “sustainable business practices.”

UK Managing Director Andrew Mackay explained that maintaining a good reputation is the cornerstone of Cefetra. It’s also something that Cefetra prize very highly.

Cefetra Group’s Chief Executive Daan Vriens said: “In our group, we work with a ‘decentrally empowered’ model.
