How do our business leaders look at the future? What are their investment plans, challenges and ambitions? To map this out, we are launching the annual BDO Company Barometer. An online survey in which more than 500 managers in Belgium took part. 

Wondering what insights and visions this first edition provided? And how your company scores compared to others?

To get you excited about the results, here’s a preview of some key insights:

  • 6 in 10 companies in Belgium have growth plans, despite obstacles such as the volatile economic context and staff shortages.
  • The focus for investment plans is 1/3 on further building their corporate brand, followed by recruitment and digitalisation.
  • 5/10 provide more than €100,000 for investment and growth plans
  • Sustainable investments such as electrification, green energy or waste minimisation are in full effect.
