Laval, Quebec — MAPEI is among the World's Best Employers according to the rankings compiled by Forbes in cooperation with Statista. The rankings examine 700 companies assessed by 170,000 employees from over 50 countries to determine which businesses excel in terms of corporate impact and image, talent development, gender equality and social responsibility.

MAPEI was praised by the people interviewed for showcasing the very best of Italian manufacturing worldwide.

Giuseppe Castelli, Human Resources Director for the MAPEI Group, notes that: "With 102 subsidiaries in 57 countries and 90 manufacturing plants in 35 countries, the MAPEI Group employs almost 12,000 staff worldwide: A winning team that shares values such as commitment, enthusiasm, and the quest for excellence on a global level. The quality of the policies and projects implemented for managing people is a matter of the utmost importance to us, because we are convinced that concrete commitment to sustainability, taken as a means of promoting and developing the communities in which we operate, also stems from these matters."

The World's Best Employers rankings are the result of the most comprehensive employer standards survey carried out on a global scale. Respondents were asked if they would recommend the company where they work, and to rate their employer along the lines of talent development, remote work options, parental leave benefits, diversity, work-life balance and pride in the company's products or services. Those taking part could also assess other companies in their country or industry.
