Ardán, analysing the strength of Galician companies since 1995
Since 1995, the Vigo Free Zone Consortium has been developing a growing set of business performance indicators to identify and highlight business excellence in Galicia. These indicators, generically known as the ARDÁN indicators, measure the performance of companies in factors related to their competitiveness. These include internationalisation, innovation, the circular economy, gender equality and talent management. An annual survey is carried out to compile these indicators, the results of which are then processed by specialised teams and summarised in the Economic and Competitiveness Report. This report also summarises the detailed analysis carried out by the ARDÁN Business Information Service of the Vigo Free Zone Consortium on aspects related to the economic and financial information of more than 35,900 Galician companies.
Specifically, Balidea received this award as a global company along with 61 other companies from a total of almost 40,000 companies analysed.
