GM Is Automotive Company With Best Corporate Reputation In Mexico

General Motors has just been recognized as the automotive company with the best corporate reputation in Mexico, the second largest automotive market in Latin America after Brazil. The automaker led the “Companies and Leaders with the Best Corporate Reputation in Mexico in 2021” ranking within the automotive sector in the Latin country.

In fact, GM Mexico has lead the list for the sixth consecutive year, which highlights the automotive companies with the best corporate reputation both in their relationship with employees, business associates, suppliers and the authorities within the country. The ranking was recently published by Merco, the Business Monitor of Corporate Reputation according to its acronym in Spanish.

“We are very honored to receive this recognition for the sixth time. These results are proof of the great work that the entire team does,” said Director of Communication and Public Relations of GM Mexico, Teresa Cid, in a statement. “General Motors will remain committed to always doing the right thing and taking care of our employees, distributors, suppliers, customers, communities, and all audiences with whom we come in contact,” she added.

This is Merco Empresas y Líderes México’s ninth edition recognizing the companies and executives with the best business reputation in the largest country in Hispanic America. The instance evaluated companies from 25 sectors such as food, telecommunications, financial and automotive to establish the “2021 General Ranking of Companies” where GM Mexico ranked 23rd, climbing 19 spots compared to the 42nd position it obtained in 2020.
