‘PALI Group has the best image’ according to readers of the weekly Boerderij magazine

PALI Group came fifth in the Top 100 of leading agribusiness companies in the Netherlands.

PALI Group came fifth in the Top 100 of leading agribusiness companies in the Netherlands. According to Boerderij what makes the company leading is a combination of seven basic factors: turnover, innovation, growth, cross sector, image, market and sustainability.

Boerderij’s editors did not work in isolation when determining the method and the ranking, but were helped by the accountants of Price Waterhouse Coopers (PWC) and a panel of eight experts. The seven basic factors did not all have the same ‘weight’ in determining the ranking. The panel of experts determined the weighting factor for every basic factor and the questions within the basic factor.
PALI Group scored highest out of all the companies for the factor ‘image’. Boerderij measured this factor online on Boerderij.nl, where thousands of farmers voted. According to Boerderij image consists of sympathy, value for money, expertise/professionalism, service orientation and reliability. PALI Group's board of directors is extremely honoured by this appreciation and would like to thank all PALI Group’s staff in particular for their efforts, commitment and professionalism.
