The Institute granted Top Employer accreditation to 27 Holcim markets across every region where the company operates, acknowledging consistent excellence in people practices from Asia and the Middle East & Africa to Europe and Latin America. Several countries that took part in the certification process for the first time earned high marks, underscoring the global reach of Holcim’s people-first culture.

Among the initiatives highlighted by the Institute was Career Catalyst, Holcim’s digital mentorship platform. Designed to democratize access to professional development, the program has now been included in the Institute’s Best Practice Library as an example of innovative employee support in action.

Holcim CEO Miljan Gutovic said the recognition reflects the collective effort and mindset of the company’s global team. “This achievement showcases the collaboration and commitment of our 45,000 colleagues worldwide.
