Every year, Caliber tracks how people in Belgium perceive the country’s leading listed companies — from how much they’re trusted and liked to how attractive they are as employers.
This page brings together all Caliber rankings for 30 influential Belgian companies, selected based on size and familiarity, to represent the country’s corporate landscape.
All insights are drawn from Caliber’s Real-Time Tracker, the world’s most comprehensive stakeholder intelligence platform, collecting thousands of public evaluations daily.
Every year, Caliber publishes reputation rankings of leading companies around the world — including those among Belgium’s Top 30 most influential companies. Explore how these rankings are compiled and download the latest results to see how your brand compares against top Belgian companies and key competitors.
The Trust & Like Score (TLS) is Caliber’s chief reputational metric, signaling the overall strength of a brand’s reputation.
Published annually and grounded in a rigorous, data-driven methodology, they capture how much people both trust and like a company — the two emotions most closely linked to supportive stakeholder behavior.
The Employer Attractiveness Rankings reveal how appealing companies in Belgium’s Top 30 are as potential employers — and how strongly people in Belgium would consider working for them.
The rankings reflect more than workplace reputation; they signal brand credibility, leadership trust, and the ability to attract and retain talent in an increasingly competitive job market.
The ESG Perception Rankings capture how the public views companies on their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance — from climate responsibility to ethical conduct and transparency.
They reflects how well companies live up to stakeholder expectations of responsible business, signaling the strength of their credibility and long-term trust.
The Reputation Drivers Rankings reveal which companies perform best on the single attribute that has the strongest impact on corporate reputation in their market — such as Integrity, Leadership, or Offering.
They uncover what drives public trust and admiration locally, helping companies understand which reputation attributes matter most to their stakeholders — and how their brand ranks against the competition.

Caliber surveys thousands of people daily, capturing how they perceive brands included in Belgium’s Top 30. Respondents are representative of the Belgian population by age, gender, region, and other key demographics. This always-on approach ensures the data reflects both short-term reactions to events and long-term reputation trends.
Only respondents who are aware of and familiar with a company are included in the scoring. This ensures results are based on informed perceptions — not general awareness or brand recognition.
Each ranking is built on Caliber’s reputation framework, developed through extensive testing across 40 markets and more than 4 million survey responses. The model shows how rational perceptions shape emotional responses like trust and likeability. These emotions, in turn, predict real stakeholder behaviors: from buying, recommending and investing to working for a company.
All results are presented on a 0–100 scale, standardized using Caliber’s globally validated Normative Scale. With a statistical margin of error of around ±1.6 points at a 95% confidence level, the rankings provide a robust and comparable measure of corporate reputation.
Caliber’s real-time tracking goes far beyond Belgium’s Top 30. Our data covers hundreds of companies across sectors, providing a continuous view of how stakeholders perceive your brand and its peers. Contact us to access tailored insights on your company or competitive benchmarks.
The Trust & Like Score (TLS) is Caliber’s core measure of reputation — showing how much people trust and like a company.
Used to evaluate the top companies in Belgium, it’s the clearest indicator of public confidence and overall reputation strength, offering a real-time view of how Belgium’s Top 30 brands are perceived by the public.
Thousands of people across Belgium are surveyed daily through Caliber’s Real-Time Tracker, answering two questions on a 7-point scale:
“[Company] is a company I trust.”
“[Company] is a company I like.”
Scores are normalized to a 0–100 scale to make results directly comparable across years. All results can be further broken down by demographics, stakeholder segments, or professional groups, allowing deeper analysis of how different audiences perceive each company.
For communications and corporate affairs leaders, the TLS offers a clear reputation compass.
Tracking score movements helps pinpoint when and why public trust shifts — linking reputation changes to media coverage, campaigns, or business actions.
It also provides an objective benchmark to evaluate progress and compare your company’s standing against others in Belgium’s Top 30.
Caliber publishes the Trust & Like Score Rankings annually in January/February, reflecting results from the full previous calendar year. As Caliber’s flagship ranking, the TLS offers the most extensive historical record of reputation trends across companies featured in Belgium’s Top 30. Earlier data or company-specific insights, as well as additional results, are available upon request.
The Employer Attractiveness Ranking reveals how the top companies in Belgium are perceived as employers — and how strongly people would consider working for them. It’s a window into each company’s talent appeal and reputation strength among current and future employees.
Caliber’s Real-Time Tracker surveys thousands of people across Belgium every day, asking familiar respondents how likely they would be to work for a given company.
Results are based on the share of people answering 6 or 7 on a 7-point scale to the question:“If I were looking for a job, I would consider [Company] as a place to work.”
Scores are normalized to a 0–100 scale and can be broken down by demographics, geography, or professional background for deeper insight.
For corporate communications, HR, and employer branding teams, this ranking provides a clear view of public perception as an employer.
Tracking changes helps identify whether corporate actions, leadership messages, or workplace policies are strengthening or weakening the company’s attractiveness — and how it compares with peers in Belgium’s Top 30.
Caliber aims to publish the Employer Attractiveness Rankings annually around June. Historical data is available upon request.
