ABOUT THE 
RECOGNITION

Each year, Newsweek partners with Statista to research which companies that demonstrate high levels of trust among customers, employees, investors, and the public. This list recognizes those companies that earned the highest ratings.

Unlike many awards, this recognition is based on independent research and public perception rather than company submissions. The methodology combines survey responses with online sentiment analysis to evaluate trust from multiple perspectives.

Trust is foundational to every relationship. This recognition reinforces the confidence our customers place in Crest Industries and our Family of Companies, and it strengthens our commitment to delivering quality work, acting with integrity, and being a reliable long-term partner.

People want to work for organizations where they can grow, contribute, and be part of something meaningful. We hope this recognition gives prospective team members another reason to explore a career with Crest Industries and our Family of Companies.

Crest Industries was one of four Louisiana-based companies recognized in 2026. It is the only company headquartered in the central Louisiana region to receive this honor and the highest-ranked Louisiana company on the list.

The ranking combines independent surveys of U.S. residents measuring customer, employee, and investor trust.  A social listening analysis that evaluates online sentiment, mentions, and presence. Only the highest-scoring 700 companies were recognized, and the Statista researchers organize the list into categories based on the industry they believe best fits the companies operations.  

While Newsweek and Statista do not publish company-specific scoring details, the recognition reflects strong performance across the trust measures used in the study. We believe it reflects the way our employees serve customers, uphold our values, and build lasting relationships in everything they do.
