“Ponsse has succeeded in maintaining its first place, and even in increasing its reputation during this challenging year.

Ponsse received the highest individual score in the vital areas of leadership and modernisation. Especially during the coronavirus crisis, there is a demand for an ability to lead and modernise,” Harri Leinikka, CEO of T-Media, which conducted the survey said.

The Reputation & Trust survey identifies the reputation of companies by analysing the greater public’s impressions of them in different dimensions.

Jarmo Vidgrén, Chairman of Ponsse’s Board of Directors, appreciates this year’s recognition more than ever.

“This year has been challenging for us as well, and we humbly accept this recognition. We have succeeded together, for which I would like to thank our customers and employees as well as their families, and our stakeholders,” he said.

“Ponsse’s 50th anniversary has not gone as planned, and it feels great that we can thank everyone for our shared successes through this recognition too.

T-Media found this year’s survey extremely interesting due to the exceptional circumstances caused by the coronavirus situation.

“Companies were forced to rapidly adapt to unexpected changes in their operating environments, and the spread of the pandemic has affected people’s expectations of companies,” the company said in a statement.
