Asia Cement Sweeps Five Major HR Asia Awards!

Secures "Best Companies to Work for in Asia" for the Sixth Consecutive Year to Build a Happy Workplace

TAIPEI, TAIWAN — The winners of the 2026 "HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia" awards have been officially announced. Asia Cement Corporation (ACC) has been honored with the main award for the sixth consecutive year, maintaining its Gold Winner status. ACC also earned four specialized awards this year: the "Skill Booster Award," the "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Award," the "Sustainable Workplace Award," and the "Tech Empowerment Award." Winning across five categories highlights ACC's long-standing dedication to talent development, workplace well-being, and sustainable growth.

The "HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia" is one of the most prestigious human resource accolades in the Asia-Pacific region. Utilizing anonymous employee surveys and rigorous corporate evaluations, it comprehensively assesses corporate culture, talent development, and workplace environments, serving as a key benchmark for employer branding.

ACC became one of the inaugural recipients of the newly established "Skill Booster Award," which recognizes companies that proactively address AI and digital transformation by helping employees upskill and adapt to future workplace demands. ACC integrates talent cultivation into its core corporate strategy, tailoring development programs across different roles while incorporating net-zero targets and AI applications to sharpen essential skills and enhance leadership decision-making. In 2025, ACC's Human Capital Return on Investment (HCROI) rose to NT$17.1, proving that its investment in people is translating into measurable corporate value.

To drive smart manufacturing and digital transformation, ACC independently developed the ACTEC AI Control System, seamlessly linking intelligent mining, smart quality control, and automated dispatch operations—an achievement previously recognized by the Enterprise Asia International Innovation Summit. In 2025, ACC launched an "AI for All" training scheme, accumulating 2,231 training hours across 466 participant sessions to elevate digital capability across the workforce, earning the company the "Tech Empowerment Award."

In terms of diversity and inclusion, ACC continues to deepen its DEI governance. In 2025, 100% of employees completed and passed human rights education training. The proportion of female managers continues to rise, Indigenous employees account for 37% of the workforce, and the utilization rate for Indigenous Ritual Leave reached 90%. Additionally, ACC offers three days of paid volunteer leave alongside other supportive policies to foster an equitable, respectful, and inclusive workplace.

Concurrently, ACC is advancing toward its 2050 net-zero emissions target by embedding sustainability into daily operations. Prioritizing employee care and work-life balance through supportive policies and full-career development programs, ACC nurtures a thriving environment where employees grow alongside the enterprise, securing the "Sustainable Workplace Award."

"Receiving HR Asia’s recognition for six consecutive years validates our 'people-centric' corporate culture and the collective effort of our entire team," said Kun-Yen Lee, President of Asia Cement. "Facing the dual transitions of AI and net-zero targets, ACC will continue combining smart technology with sustainable development to support employee growth, forging long-term value for both the enterprise and society."
