# ENTITY CATEGORY RATING REMARKS RECOMMENDATION
11. Autonomous University of Barcelona Blue BB TSCF Rating For Autonomous University of Barcelona The TSCF score sits at 172. Universities can create a favorable environment for pedagogic performance, but the latter lies in a last resort on individual staff and students. In addition, performance evaluation in this sector is widely subjective, depending notably on the opinion of employers, the public image and fame of these organizations, and their involvement in partnerships with other actors. To qualify for evaluation, a University must offer the whole range of the degrees (undergraduate - graduate - PhD). Higher education institutions that focus on a particular segment of science or on the application of science are taken into account only if:  - they cover a sufficiently broad spectrum of disciplines and areas, - they practice fundamental research and teaching. Our evaluation criteria include: - Quality of education (student/faculty ratio, pedagogic methodology, logistics, income and budget) for 50%, - Support to research (research budget, faculty involvement, patents, indexation and citation per faculty) for 25%, - And organization development (HR policy, institutional income, international outlook including faculty, research and programs) for 25%. Positive
12. BNP Paribas Fortis Red DD- "Zombie" bank Fortis had to be rescued during the 2008 financial crisis and be backed by larger BNP Paribas. They are very dependent on government and therefore cannot be regarded as a reliable provider at the service of their clients. Merger, reorganization and automation have also affected the quality of the service negatively. They are likely to freeze your assets as they were theirs, should they for example have lost one of your documents. All this can be summed up as hard banking, mismanagement, and extreme dependence on unpredictable third parties. Negative

14. BPost Orange CC+ BPost - In the last decades, the organization has been devastated by awkward reforms and privatization policies that resulted in confused procedures, errors, and a degraded price/quality relationship. The ultra-quick rotation of the front office staff and postmen destroyed trust and congeniality in the relationships between staff and clients. However, the organization still offers decent banking services. Qualified

16. BSC Bitola Orange CC- BSC Bitola! The organization advertises its action and puts forward specific achievements. However, the final added value of this action beyond the collection of EU funding is not demonstrated. Confirmed and unconfirmed reports point to dubious practices such as IPR issues, plagiarism and disloyalty in business relationships. Negative
