Holcim has been named a Global Top Employer by the Top Employers Institute for a second consecutive year, one of only 17 companies worldwide to receive the certification recognizing organizations that meet the highest standards across their people practices.

With 27 of its markets certified, Holcim achieved a global score of 87%, outperforming the global benchmark. The company ranked highest in areas including Ethics & Integrity, Learning, and Business Strategy, reflecting the culture of performance and value creation that is driving Holcim's NextGen Growth 2030 strategy.

Miljan Gutovic, CEO: “A strategic growth driver of Holcim’s NextGen Growth 2030 strategy is our culture of performance and value creation for people, customers and shareholders. We call this the Holcim Spirit, centered on purpose, people and performance. Today’s award goes to my more than 45 000 colleagues who live the Holcim Spirit every day and who make Holcim the best place to work.”

Carmen Diaz, Chief People & Sustainability Officer: “We are creating the best workplace where talent is nurtured through programs such as our Holcim University, diversity is celebrated, employees are engaged, and health and safety is our top priority. This recognition is a reflection of how we are fulfilling our vision to be the leading partner for sustainable construction.”

The Top Employer benchmark evaluates companies against global standards in career development, learning, well-being, and compensation practices. Companies that receive the Global Top Employer designation must be certified as a Regional Top Employer in a minimum number of countries and regions, including the country of their global headquarters.
