Benchmarking and accreditation
The international Top Employers Institute performs yearly research on employee practices around the globe, based amongst others on independent assessments by auditing firm Grant Thornton. The accreditation recognizes Employers of Choice, based on criteria such as the extent of primary benefits, the quality of working conditions, the level of professional development offered, opportunities for career development, and culture management.
By benchmarking the results against others, companies receive independent evaluations of their HR management, procedures and culture. This helps them to further improve their employment standards and to become a preferred employer for talented people within their competitive environments.

Preferred Employership
SABIC operates in a competitive global business environment and aims to become the global leader in the chemical industry. With over 40.000 employees, the company services customers around the world with innovative and sustainable solutions.
Eduardo Perez-Cejuela, Sr HR Director Europe at SABIC explains: “We are very pleased with this accreditation as it recognizes SABIC as a good employer with excellent HR processes and practices, already three years in a row. We are a global company with ambitious growth plans and our employees are crucial. Good HR management, based on a long-term vision is key to attract and retain good people. This award affirms that SABIC is a good employer —not just in the United Kingdom and other European countries, but also in other regions, such as Asia-Pacific, where we have received the award for a number of consecutive years.”
John Bruijnooge, SABIC Site Director in Wilton commented: “SABIC is already recognized as a leading employer in the Teesside area with a world class reputation for innovation and industrial excellence. To continue with our journey into the future, it is vital that we continue to treat our people fairly, invest in our employees, and foster and develop the talent of tomorrow. This fits alongside our global ambition to be the preferred world leader in chemicals by 2025. We have always believed that it takes special people to make a difference, so we create the conditions for their talent to flourish. We are grateful for this recognition that we are on the right path in all aspects of employee management and people development.”
Along with the UK, SABIC is also in contention for the ‘Top Employer’ accreditation in the Netherlands for the 10th time, as well as four other European countries (Spain, Italy, Belgium, Germany), and for its pan-European practices throughout February. Furthermore, SABIC was awarded the Top Employer certification in 2016 for its operations in Asia Pacific. This broad spectrum of awards demonstrates SABIC’s commitment across the company to maintain a culture that supports and develops its employees.
