CHEP certified as Top Employer in UK & Ireland
Awarded Top Employer certification and recognised as Global Top Employer in 2024
CHEP, a leader in logistics and supply chain, has been certified as a 2024 Top Employer in UK and Ireland by the Top Employers Institute, a global certifier recognising excellence in employee conditions. This marks the ninth consecutive year that CHEP UK and Ireland have been recognised.
Alasdair Hamblin, General Manager, Northern Europe: “We are proud to receive the Top Employer Award for the ninth year running, and for CHEP to be recognised as a truly fantastic place to work for all our colleagues.”
In 2024, CHEP was among only 17 companies to receive Global Top Employer certification, which is awarded to companies demonstrating outstanding HR policies and practices worldwide.
The Top Employers Institute programme certifies organisations based on the participation and results of their HR Best Practices Survey covering six domains across 20 topics.
Among the categories where CHEP excelled against the benchmark were People Strategy, Leadership, Work Environment, Wellbeing, Talent acquisition, Careers and Sustainability.
In 2023, CHEP surpassed its 2025 goal of 40% female representation on its Board while achieving 36.3% of women in management roles globally. It also continued to improve its safety performance, delivering its best year on record with a 31% reduction of injury rates based on FY20 levels. To better support its diverse workforce, it expanded its range of accessibility schemes and now offers employee resource groups across disability, neurodiversity, gender and LGBTIQ+.
Top Employers Institute CEO David Plink says: “Exceptional times bring out the best in people and organisations. And we have witnessed this in our Top Employers Certification Programme this year: an exceptional performance from the certified Top Employers 2024. And amongst this community of outstanding organisations, CHEP has proven its commitment to their employees on a global scale. This consistency in people practices across the globe characterises an exclusive group of companies that have achieved a global certification through the Top Employers Programme. We are proud to announce and celebrate these companies and their achievement in 2024.”
