CHEP accredited as a 2023 Global Top Employer

Awarded Top Employer certification in 25 countries across four regions, including North America

CHEP, a leader in supply chain solutions, has been recognized as a Global Top Employer for 2023 by Top Employers Institute, a global certifier recognizing excellence in employee conditions.

Receiving global accreditation for the first time, CHEP, as part of the Brambles Group, was among only 15 Global Top Employers in 2023 to be recognized for outstanding HR policies and practices worldwide. CHEP and Brambles have also expanded the number of regions and countries where they are accredited, earning the Top Employer seal in Asia Pacific for the first time while retaining Top Employer status in North America, Europe, Latin America and Africa.

Amber Cantu, CHEP North America’s Vice President of Human Resources, said, “CHEP’s distinction as a global Top Employer is a reflection of the incredible people who work at the company and foster a culture of excellence. As an organization, we have worked hard to offer great benefits, educational resources and growth opportunities in an environment that harnesses the power of diversity and inclusion. I see this every day with my teams in North America and colleagues across the globe, and I’m honored to work alongside talented and passionate people who are encouraged to reach their fullest potential.”

The Top Employers Institute program certifies organizations based on the participation and results of its HR Best Practices Survey. This survey covers six HR domains consisting of 20 topics.

Among the categories where CHEP excelled against peers were People Strategy, Leadership, Diversity & Inclusion and Sustainability.

In 2022, CHEP achieved 33% of women in management roles globally and reached 40% female representation on its parent company, Brambles’, Board. Following an increased focus on employee health, safety and wellbeing, the company recorded an 18% improvement in its safety performance, reflecting targeted efforts to reach Zero Harm across its global operations.

Top Employers Institute CEO, David Plink, said, “Exceptional times bring out the best in people and organizations. And we have witnessed this in our Top Employers Certification Program this year: an exceptional performance from the certified Top Employers 2023. Amongst this community of outstanding organizations, CHEP has proven its commitment to employees on a global scale. This consistency in people practices across the globe characterizes an exclusive group of companies that have achieved a global certification through the Top Employers Program. We are proud to announce and celebrate these companies and their achievement in 2023.”
