Croda International Plc was voted Britain’s Most Admired Chemicals Company for the fourth year running, as well as being named Britain’s fifth Most Admired Company overall, the company announced.
The results are the outcome of a peer-review study of corporate reputation.
The awards are based on interviews with board directors, analysts and City commentators and are the largest of their kind in the UK, according to Croda.
They recognize factors critical to business success across 12 categories, including sustainability, quality of management, quality of products and services, and leadership.
Croda’s success in the awards followed recognition from peers for its environmental responsibility, with the company placed fourth in this category, ahead of 246 other companies included in the study, according to Croda.
"This award, and the recognition from our peers, is testament to the hard work and dedication of all our employees. It’s particularly pleasing to see that our leadership position in sustainability has earned us the respect of our peers," CEO Steve Foots said. "I am hugely proud of all that we have achieved throughout such a challenging year. I’d like to thank all Croda employees for their hard work and for the innovative ways they have supported each other, and our customers, throughout the pandemic."
