Among companies, Autosecurite - Bureau d'Etude et de Controle en VUE de la Securite Routiere, with 694.2 full-time equivalents reported (financial year 2025).

Not necessarily: headcount is reported by the company for all its sites, and the company is ranked by the address of its registered office. 709 out of 4,037 companies in the sector report employees there.
Why does this ranking differ from other lists?
It uses each company's annual accounts as filed with the National Bank, not consolidated group accounts. A holding, a subsidiary or a purchasing entity can therefore appear separately. Only companies whose latest accounts are less than 3 years old are ranked.
