Best Managed Companies Beddeleem

Beddeleem awarded the Gold label as a Best Managed Company

28/05/2026

Beddeleem is once again among Belgium’s Best Managed Companies. Thanks to this fourth consecutive recognition, we are also honored with the distinguished Gold Label, awarded by Deloitte Private in collaboration with Econopolis and KU Leuven.

A strong recognition of over 75 years of collective growth and commitment as an organization, with a strong focus on continuous improvement, sustainable growth, and future-oriented entrepreneurship.

More than just an award

For Beddeleem, the Best Managed Companies program represents far more than a label; it is a journey that encourages continuous self-reflection and the structural integration of improvements within our organization.

"The Best Managed Company program challenged us to map our strengths and to reflect critcally on our areas for improvement.
The real challenge does not lie in identifying points for improvement, but in translating them into concrete action plans with clear timelines, follow-up, and responsibilities.

While no guide exists for becoming a Best Managed Company, this recognition has helped us organize our evolution, enhance our reporting, and reinforce our commitment to continuous improvement. In a world that is changing faster than ever, that agility is crucial, and it is essential to remain open to new, external insights and expertise. ”

In addition, we would also like to thank you, as our customer and/or partner, for your trust and for the sustainable collaborations that have been built and strengthened over the past years.

“ Het Best Managed Company-programma heeft ons uitgedaagd om niet alleen onze sterktes in kaart te brengen, maar ook om kritisch stil te staan bij onze werkpunten. De échte uitdaging zit niet in het identificeren van verbeterpunten, maar schuilt in de vertaling ervan naar concrete actieplannen met duidelijke timings, opvolging en verantwoordelijkheden.

We beschikken vandaag nog altijd niet over een handboek 'Hoe word ik een Best Managed Company?'. Maar deze erkenning heeft ons wél geholpen om meer structuur te brengen in hoe we evolueren, rapporteren en vooral: hoe we blijven verbeteren. 
In een wereld die sneller verandert dan ooit, is die wendbaarheid cruciaal en is het opportuun om open te staan voor nieuwe, externe inzichten en expertise.”
