Sandvik has secured first place in this year’s edition of Comprend’s Webranking – for the fourth consecutive year. Corporate governance, careers, share information, and sustainability are particularly strong areas.
Sweden’s 155 largest companies were included in this year’s Webranking by Comprend, where the average score was 46.7. Sandvik took the top spot with 86.6 points, ahead of Trelleborg (85.1) in second place and Pandox (78.7) in third.
“I’m extremely proud that we once again top the Swedish webranking, and we put a lot of effort into optimizing the digital experience for all visitors,” says Björn Roodzant, Head of Communications and Sustainability at Sandvik. “The award is proof of excellent work, but we are aware that we must continue to evolve and improve to maintain our leading position.”
Another confirmation of Sandvik’s high-quality website is a monthly survey conducted by the company Webperf. While the Webranking focuses on content, Webperf measures technical aspects such as accessibility, speed, web standards, and information security. Here, Sandvik has been best in class among all OMX 30 companies every month for almost two years (since December 2023).
