Ohorongo Cement scored the highest rate on an overall rating of 4.21 out 5 in the category: Companies/institutions held in high esteem as good corporate citizens based on their corporate responsibility initiatives and investments.
Conducted from August to October 2017 by PMR Africa, the awards are based on the survey on Namibia, including the perceptions of respondents from corporates and senior government officials.
