3Use your badge across your website, email signature, proposals and appropriate printed materials. Your public listing is available for verification.
4Portugal assessment information
The assessment uses all relevant and legally accessible information available for the company and market at the assessment date.
Proven™ considers the complete set of relevant sources available for each assessment. These may include official company filings, financial statements, credit and payment information, tax and compliance status, court and insolvency records, and public ownership or director information. Availability varies by country and company. No single source determines certification.
Sources: Eurostat active enterprises (2023–2024) and GDP at current market prices (2025). The 2025 enterprise count is a Proven estimate calculated by applying the latest observed annual growth rate to the 2024 Eurostat figure; rounded figures are shown.
