French term or phrase: principaux référencements
I'm translating a company presentation of a consulting firm. This is the title of a table with 2 columns, the first listing 9 major French and companies and the second, corresponding years.

The same companies appear in another table alongside this one, titled "Portefeuille de clients prestigieux," listed among other companies and broken down by sector.

It looks like "référencements" means clients, but if it does, this table seems completely redundant. There must be something I'm missing here! Some subtle distinction...

A google search reveals "principaux référencements" used similarly elsewhere.
