Sika attained first place in the Swiss Reputation Top 20, among the companies listed on the Swiss Market Index (SMI). Reaching the highest score in “Products and Innovation” and a strong performance in “Economic Performance” and “Sustainability”, the company continued its string of successful rankings.

Reputation scores over the course of four consecutive six-month periods highlight the challenge in maintaining a strong performance in this ranking. Among the 20 SMI companies covered during this timeframe, Sika stands out as the only company consistently securing a place in the top five. 
 

"This leading position is only possible because of our relentless focus on innovation and sustainability, from the laboratory to the marketplace. Our innovations address not only today’s challenges, but are also designed with the world of tomorrow in mind. It is our forward-thinking that keeps us ahead of the innovation curve." Patricia Heidtman, Chief Innovation & Sustainability Officer

The analysis made by Swiss Reputation Top 20 includes all German- and French-language publications related to SMI companies on Swiss public domains, including journalistic websites, news portals, blogs, and social media. To compile the Swiss Reputation Top 20, more than 175,000 comments were evaluated using AI-assisted text analysis in the second half of 2023. Companies that combine a media presence with a positive tone in all areas are considered to have a strong reputation.
