Asia Cement Wins Fifth Consecutive HR Asia Gold Award, Continuing to Build a Model Workplace of Happiness, Inclusion, and Sustainability

Asia Cement Corporation (ACC) has once again achieved a remarkable milestone by winning the HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia Gold Award in 2025, marking its fifth consecutive year of recognition. In addition to the Gold Award, ACC also received four prestigious category honors: the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Award, the Best Employee Engagement & Well-being Award, the Workplace Sustainability Award, and the HR Asia Digital Transformation Award.

Widely regarded as one of the most authoritative recognitions in the Asian human resources field, the HR Asia Awards cover 15 markets, evaluating companies through comprehensive employee engagement surveys and corporate reports. The assessment examines performance in organizational culture, employee experience, and team collaboration, with ACC standing out for its exceptional people strategies, robust employee engagement, and commitment to innovation and sustainability.

“Talent is Asia Cement’s most valuable asset,” said Kuen-Yen Lee, President of ACC. “We uphold a people-first philosophy, focusing on talent development and employee well-being, fostering a culture of openness, integrity, and inclusion, and encouraging innovative thinking. These efforts empower our people to remain confident and competitive in a rapidly changing market, while fueling the company’s sustainable growth.”

ACC has long implemented a comprehensive human rights policy to create a zero-discrimination workplace that respects differences in gender, ethnicity, age, religion, and nationality. A strong grievance and remediation mechanism ensures that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) principles are embedded in daily operations. Beyond the workplace, ACC actively supports indigenous community development through after-school tutoring, cultural preservation, and local employment empowerment, amplifying its positive social impact.

In its digital transformation journey, ACC integrates generative AI, deep learning, and IoT technologies to enhance smart manufacturing and process management, while advancing AI upskilling for all employees. In 2024, the company delivered 2,030 hours of training, with courses tailored from foundational knowledge to advanced applications, enabling all departments—from frontline staff to technical experts and management—to thrive in the digital era.

ACC also provides benefits that go beyond legal requirements, including regular health check-ups, on-site medical services, fully covered group insurance, 30 days of paid sick leave, three days of annual volunteer leave, and cultural leave for indigenous employees, demonstrating its respect for cultural diversity and commitment to work-life balance.

These continuous efforts have not only secured ACC’s five-year winning streak at the HR Asia Awards but also reinforced its promise to be “the most trusted support for every employee.”
