AB confirms its Top Employer status for the fifth year: the company continues to grow and exceeds the international benchmark

For the fifth consecutive year, AB has achieved the Top Employers Italia certification, a result that carries even greater significance this year. For the first time, the score obtained surpasses not only the national benchmark (as it did last year), but also the average score of internationally certified Top Employer companies with fewer than 5,000 employees, with a positive difference of 0.43 points. This outcome confirms the strength of the journey undertaken and the Group’s positioning even when compared with leading organizations globally: the score is +2.02 points above the national benchmark and sits just below the average of all 2,340 Top Employer–certified companies worldwide.

The certification is the result of a structured process that evaluates more than 250 practices, covering all areas that influence the employee experience: development and training, well-being, organization, inclusion, and sustainability. Year after year, this process enables AB to objectively measure itself and identify new opportunities for improvement.

This milestone has its roots in the AB Group’s first experience with the Top Employers certification five years ago, which was not intended as confirmation but as the start of a journey of analysis and evolution. Since then, the assessment has become a method—a tool to review internal processes, primarily HR-related but not exclusively, to benchmark against external standards, and to work in a structured way on areas for improvement. Today, years later, that starting point underscores the significance of the achievement: the fifth consecutive year of certification, accompanied by results that mark a further step forward.
