This marks the first time the company has received this prestigious recognition, underscoring its dedication to creating a positive and entrepreneurial workplace culture.
Forbes’ annual list is based on independent surveys of over 300,000 employees from more than 50 countries, highlighting companies with outstanding workplace environments.
“We are deeply humbled to be included in Forbes’ World’s Best Employers list, alongside companies whose workplace cultures and achievements greatly inspire us,” said Ted Po, CNPF president and CEO.
“An engaged workforce is essential in creating shared value and driving positive impact. We see it as our responsibility to foster growth, spark purpose, and promote teamwork.”
Since its establishment in 1978, Century Pacific has grown to employ over 28,000 individuals and is home to iconic brands such as Century Tuna, 555, Argentina, and Birch Tree.
With a focus on people development, the company has implemented initiatives like the Century Leadership University, offering customized learning and competency-based curriculums, and Century Idol, an employee recognition program.
Employee engagement is further supported by initiatives such as Century Cares and the Volunpeer Program, which involve employees in community projects like ‘Saving Our Seas’ and ‘Kain Po’, its flagship feeding initiative.
“Our employees grow not just in their roles but as individuals, guided by our core values of respect, excellence, and malasakit (compassion),” said George Wang III, vice president for human resources.
Century Pacific is one of seven Philippine companies recognized on this year’s Forbes list, a testament to its commitment to excellence and employee well-being.
