Acciona, a global leader in sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy solutions, has earned the Top Employer certification for the first time in Qatar, making it the only Spanish company recognised as such in the Middle East.
This certification, awarded by the Top Employers Institute, highlights Acciona's commitment to excellence in employee conditions and its growing presence in the region, the company said.
Acciona has also once again achieved the prestigious Top Employer certificate across multiple countries, including Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Australia, the US, Canada, Chile, South Africa, Peru, and the Philippines.
Additionally, for the fourth consecutive year, the company has secured the Top Employer North America seal, reinforcing its reputation as one of the best employers on the continent.
Acciona was also awarded the Enterprise Seal, a newly created seal that is meant to give additional recognition to companies certified as Top Employers in at least 10 countries where at least 95 per cent of their total global staff works. Of the more than 2,000 companies certified as Top Employers, only nine have obtained this distinction.
The certificate awarded by the Top Employers Institute is one of the most demanding and prestigious in the world in the field of corporate people management. Acciona obtained the Top Employer Spain certificate for the first time in 2021, and since then it has added new countries every year to this recognition, which accredits its leadership in human resources management in another eleven of its main international markets.
To obtain this accreditation, organisations are evaluated through the HR Best Practices Survey, which analyzes aspects related to a score of topics, such as people strategy, work environment, talent recruitment, training, promotion of employee well-being, and diversity and inclusion, among others.
The survey results highlight Acciona's efforts to keep advancing its Human Resources practices internationally, the company said.
Top Employer highlights its diversity and inclusion and sustainability policies in particular, where the company has achieved a 10% higher score than the average of all global participants in the survey.
Acciona currently has more than 60,000 employees and is present in more than 40 countries. The company has drawn up a global strategy called People, with the aim of putting people at its centre through four key approaches: recognition of merit, diversity and inclusion, a transformative work environment and leadership, it said.
